Sugar bugs

The girls had their semi annual teeth cleaning and dentist check-up this past weekend.

Who says a momma can't bring her big camera and big flash to the dentist office?

The girls, particularly Emily, were fairly excited for this appointment. I'm not sure why other than it is something different. Emily likes to tell us what she did at school in excruciating detail and I think she was planning on doing the same to Grammy with this appointment. Poor thing was so nervous, she hasn't mentioned it at all now that it is over.

I had to take pictures to preserve the cuteness.

(I think the photos have some funky fluorescent lighting going on. I've gotten over it.)

Allie was so brave. For most of her cleaning, she was in the room alone and completely fine with it.

Anna, on the other hand, was nervous so I stayed with her. Anna, tell us how you really feel about fluoride?

And here's Em. She was definitely nervous.

(Me messing around without the flash while waiting.)

Before the appointment, Allie kept asking me if there was going to be a boy dentist. She was freaking out a bit over the thought of a boy dentist and to stop her constant questioning, I told her no. While keeping my fingers crossed. Well, the hygienists were all female. The dentist was not.

I love listening to the girls' conversations. On the way home, Allie told us that she liked the boy dentist. "He was nice. He has kids. Emily, did you like the boy doctor?"

Emily: "No."

That was actually a very easy appointment for us as parents. There was no crying, fussing, screaming or fighting and everyone's teeth looked great. No cavities!!
