Well, today marked the first trip to the dentist for my kiddos. I know it's kinda late, especially for Josie (cousin Sarah, please don't be mad), so judge me as a slacker mom but it is what it is.
I was really nervous about how they would do but we talked a lot about it before and what to expect. I think one of the things that helped was that we go to church with our dentist and his kids are about the same age as Josie and Caleb.
When we went in Josie went first to show Caleb how easy it was. When asked what music she wanted to listen to she said, "David Crowder". Ahhhh, that's my girl! Anywhoo, she did very well and the hygienist and Dr. Chad both boasted what beautiful and healthy teeth she had.
Caleb went next and to no one's surprise was the comedian of the office. When Dr. Chad came in Caleb informed him (very confidently) that he had two teeth--one on top and one on the bottom then he kindly wished him a "happy burfday." That got a laugh out of everyone--even the ladies in the office.
He had a little buildup in a couple of places around his gums, but overall did very well for a 3 year old. His absolute favorite part was the suction straw. It became our form of leverage to keep him still. He loved making all kinds of funny noises with it and would just sit there looking like a fish with it in his mouth.
I was so proud of my babies and praising God for giving them 30 minutes of self control!
