Say Ahhhh

Yesterday I bit the bullet and finally took the twins to the dentist....all. by. myself. I have had this scheduled for two months now and have been dreading ever since I scheduled it. I hate going to the dentist. I think it is uncomfortable and pure torture to sit with your mouth wide open for 30 minutes. Blech. But I didn't want this feeling to rub off on the kids so I talked it up like we were about to go to a party. Yea, I know, I am sneaky like that.

Really the worst part was waiting in the waiting room. It is a pediatric dentist so there were toys and books to play with BUT there were also things to get into. And I had to fill out a ton of paperwork X 2 and chase down the kids and take them to the potty TWICE and did I mention chase the kids?! So I was a bit relieved when we finally got called back. AMEN...lock us in a room so they can't escape.

Sawyer went first and sat right in the chair. They have a tv on the ceiling to entertain them. He opened up and let the lady count his teeth and stuck out his tongue. All his teeth are in. He has no crowding in there. Yay.

Danner was an even better patient. She sat in the chair, wore sunglasses to block the bright light, and opened wide. She has all her teeth and everything looked great.

In 6 months they will attempt a cleaning. They got t-shirts, new toothbrushes, kids floss, and a prize from the treasure chest. They even smiled for their camera and got a postcard with a souvenir picture. And lo-and-behold .....a compliment on their great behavior for their age.  Really? My kids got a A+ for behavior. Ha.....they need to come home with me, huh?

So all-in-all.....SUCCESS......sigh....
