The Dentist

This morning, the kids had their first ever dentist appointment. I did not tell them until they got home from school. I told them to run inside to brush their teeth because we were headed to the dentist. They seemed okay. Isabel probably asked me 6 more times (within a minute) if we were going to the dentist. My kids are weird about repeating & asking the same question over & over & over. I knew it was probably out of nervousness.

I enlisted the help of my sister. God bless her. I can always count on Ash. She knows what it is like to have multiples & need help from time to time. She met me at the dentist office & off we went. It happens to be the office that I go to & that Ash & her family go to, as well as my mom. You could tell they were excited to see the triplets & that made me feel good.

First up was Jasper. He was AMAZING! That kid did great. He didn't shed one single tear. He didn't complain or whine. I LOVE our hygienist. She was great with the kids. She explained all the tools & let them feel & see what each one did.

Thumbs Up!

So I didn't get very many pics of Jonah & Isabel. Needless to say, they didn't enjoy it as much as Jasper. Jonah screamed bloody murder. He cried. He sat on my lap long enough for her to polish his teeth for about 10 seconds.

Once Jonah freaked out, Isabel freaked out with him. It scared her that he was crying. She sat on my lap, too. After a few minutes & one million questions & comments, she started to settle down. I learned today that the girl LOVES to talk when she gets nervous. I was laughing & so was the hygenist. She was trying to think of anything to say. She would say, "Oh, I like your light." "Do you see the sunshine?" "Hey! Did you see the sun is shining?" Everything started with "Hey?"

The diagnosis was that Jasper & Isabel each have a small cavity. We got back on Feb. 14th to have them filled. We'll see how it goes.
