Such a purdy smile!

That's my hick accent for ya! J/K Today we took the 3 kiddos to the dentist. They were all pretty excited to go- Kaitlyn even wore her pink cowgirl boots there(thanks for the boots Dana!). Ethan went first and did great. The dental hygienist said he had a lot of questions and wanted to know all about what she was doing. That is so like him- he is our little inquisitor! Sean did pretty well. He got a little scared of the water sprayer and the suction. He started crying and wouldn't let her wash off the toothpaste and didn't let her do the fluoride treatment. But he was a big boy the rest of the time. Kaitlyn did awesome. She climbed right up and answered all the questions and sat with her mouth wide open during it all. She was a big girl! They all got a prize for doing so well!

All in all we have 3 cavities- all belonging to Sean. Poor guy! He's going to go back for his first filling in 2 weeks and we will work with him slowly to get him used to the dentist. When his cavities are filled he will get a sealant put on his teeth. Ethan will go for the sealant in 2 weeks. All 3 of them have a flap that runs from their lip to their gum that is so close to their teeth that it is causing their teeth to have a gap. The dentist said they clip those so the teeth will naturally line up, and if we don't they will have a pretty major gap in their front teeth. So yeah us we get to take Ethan first this spring to get it done then Sean this summer. Kaitlyn won't have to get it done till she is 6. They say they do it all the time and it is not painful. I just don't want to see it get done! Poor babies! I am so thankful for their pretty little teeth and the opportunity to get this work done.

Oh and we were only there for 2.5 hours today! A long afternoon, but the kids were great!
