6 month visit & dentist

Just a new pic of my family...

We took this photo b/c we had to have one of the entire family to give our social worker when she came for our 6-month post placement visit. She came last night and was amazed at Macey's adjustment, language, everything. It was a great visit. Just one more in six months are we are done!

I never blogged about Macey's visit to the dentist. She went on Wednesday. She had some gray/black marks on her teeth and I was really worried about decay. They don't have flouride in their water in China and I doubted her teeth had been very well cared for.

We showed up at the dentist and she went right in having a ball with the toys. She wasn't near as apprehensive as I thought she'd be when we went back. The hygienist said she just planned to brush Macey's teeth really well and have the dentist look them over. No cleaning? Well, they usually can't clean the teeth of a two year old...too much fussing and screaming. I talked them into at least trying to clean them. Well guess what! She barely fussed at all and they were able to do a complete cleaning! And ALL the stains came off! They were not decay. The dentist said it probably has to do with the iron in her diet, but she needs the iron for nutrition so not to worry about it. The stains might come back but they'll come off at the next cleaning. I guess we'll see. But he saw no sign of cavities at all and now she is Miss Pearly too, just like Lena!

I'll have to post some teeth photos so you can see them both. They look great!
