A Mom Asked

name redacted

"Anyone have a pediatric dentist rec?"

My 4-year-old hates cleanings — looking for someone patient.

Cherry Bay Pediatric Dentistry — they let my daughter pick a tiara before the cleaning.

Dr. Hauser. She talks them through every step, and the office has a fish tank that bought us 10 quiet minutes.

We see the team at Northwest Pediatric — they did the 'tell-show-do' approach and it changed everything.

Real questions. Paraphrased to protect identity.

Teddy Bear Sleepover - dropoff

Have you ever wondered what Teddy Bears do at night if left alone in the library? Now is your chance to find out. Children are encouraged to bring their Teddy Bear (or other favorite stuffie) into the library anytime on Friday, October 16th and fill out a tag telling us about your Teddy. Your Teddy Bear (or stuffie) will then spend the night in the library with all of the other Teddy Bears (or stuffies), exploring and playing in the library. Youth Services staff will be nearby taking pictures, which you can view at our Mama Sugar Bear author event on Saturday, October 17th at 11 a.m. Your bears (or stuffies) can be picked up at the Mama Sugar Bear event or at the Youth Services desk, if you're not able to come to the Mama Sugar Bear event.
