A Trip to the Dentist

We visited the dentist on Monday. It was C's first visit and L's second visit that he actually opened his mouth. (It took 3 tries to get a cooperative L. Fortunately our dentist is my college roommate's husband. Our kids are the same age and play together very often, so he is great with my kiddos.)

L went first, and did a phenomenal job! He was so precious. I took tons of pictures with my new digital SLR camera my hubby surprised me with. No cavities, but he like his Daddy, is a champion plaque maker...I gotta brush him 3 times a day to try to keep those cavities away (my idea, not suggested by the dentist)...luckily, he's my cooperative child.

C went next...after negotiating a toy trip to Wal*Mar*t, telling our hygienist, Pam, that she didn't need to turn Mr. Tickle (the spin brush) on. C just wanted her to put the "Sparklies" on her teeth without the spin brush. Also, C informed Pam that she would need to get her water from a cup not from the water squirter, and she wouldn't be holding Mr. Sippy (the suction straw) for her. She told Pam, "You just hold it youse-elf." Keep in mind that this child is NOT 3 years old yet!!! After all of her demands were addressed, C climbed in the chair and opened that mouth like a champ. No cavities for her, either! Yay, C!

Today was Pajama Day at school, so the kiddos were VERY excited. They had a great time. And, to show my support for all things educational, I put on my pjs when we arrived at home, too. Now they are sleeping soundly, and I'm off for some lunch...in the peace and quiet!
