we gave it a try

Ems can be fearless. She loves it when the airplane takes off, can't go high enough on the tire swing. But she is also incredibly shy - wanting to be physically in touch with us while trying out new situations, like gymnastics, swimming class, and the dentist.
Ev loaned Em his new favorite stuffie for the trip to the dentist. Things were looking good.
A few minutes later, she started sinking in the chair.
And soon, she was gone - absolutely refusing to cooperate.
In the end only Bucky the stuffie had an exam. Emme smiled for the dentist from a distance and got two prizes from the treat basket (hmmmmmm, a reward for what?).

Maybe next time.
