Dentist, Potty Training and That Dang Binky

Yesterday Emma had her first dentist appointment (Makenna also went to see the dentist and happy to report no cavaties and even happier to say no crying!). She did so great and only protested a bit at the end. She has her two bottom teeth and 4 teeth breaking through on the top. I am so anxious for her to get more teeth. Emma has a terrible gag reflex and is having a horrible time with table food so I'm hoping more teeth will mean she can chew up her food better and won't have such a rough time.
This week has been a big one for Makenna too. Besides going to see Dentist Michelle yesterday she is back at potty training and as of yesterday is working on giving up her binky. It was difficult for Makenna to give up her bottle a few months back and she still asks for one every now and then so I know the binky is going to be even tougher, but besides two breakdowns yesterday and one this morning she is doing okay with it. The potty trainging is not going so well. Makenna has a complete aversion to the potty and I've tried EVERY trick in the book. The other day when we were at the store I asked Makenna if she wanted to get a toy that she could only play with while she sat on the potty and she told me she didn't need a new toy that bad, for as much as Makenna LOVES getting new "prizes" this is not a good sign. But i will keep at the potty trainging and hopefully something will click with her soon. Because of all the "Big Girl" changes Makenna is going through now, Brett and I let her get a fish (something she's wanted forever, but we always told her she had to wait until she was old enough to feed and take care of it herself). Makenna is so proud of herself when she feeds her fishy, it's so great to see her have a sense of accomplishment for all she's trying to conquer right now. I can't belive in about 3 weeks we are going to have a 1 year-old and a 3 year old. We are so proud of them.
