First Day of School Evening

Camden had her 6-month cleaning and they found a bit of a cavity on the edge of one of her baby teeth.  Of course it's one she will have for another 3-4 years so we have to deal with it.  They had a 4 o'clock appointment on the first day of school but we took it.  She would only have to miss 15 minutes of the end of the day.

No shots or drilling were necessary.  They gave her some laughing gas through a nose tube and simply had to scrape the edge of her tooth and build it back up with "teeth mortar."  Took about 5 minutes.

Her dentist is wonderful and report that she did fabulous.  When I saw her (and you can see it a little in the photo), her face and eyes made me think she was miserable.  But she was her fine, even happy (maybe it was the laughing gas).  She got her treat coin and picked her prize.

Nice thing was she could eat and drink immediately so we opted for a Sonic strawberry limeade!

Since we were near good stores, we stopped at a shoe store and got some new tennis shoes.  I knew she was at the top range of girl sizes, so we shopped in the women's.  I assumed that the sizes just kept going so if 5 girls were too small, she would wear a 6 women's.  Nope.  Apparently boys sizes work that way, but women's jump a bit.  So I just bought my 9 year-old daughter a size 8 women's sneaker.  NOT POSSIBLE!

Of course after dinner - BLT's with bacon from a local farm and juicy ripe tomatoes from our garden - we headed out for our annual first day of school ice cream.  Dari-licious was the choice this year.  Always with a cherry on top.
