Today was another big day in our house - Parker, Preston and Peyton had their first dental visit with Dr. Collins. (She is soooo fantastic!) Helena had a routine cleaning as well. She is the perfect role model for a dental patient - she goes in, picks out her movie, puts on her sunglasses and sit in the chair with her mouth wide open.....never flinches at all during her cleaning. She was given a big job today, she got to pick out everybodies toothbrush - big stuff!!
As always, Helena's cleaning was uneventful and she got 2 thumbs up from Dr. Collins - we (I) just have to work on flossing a bit better. Next came the boys, first we did pictures - they will mail them to us, then came Parker. Dr. Collins made mention that he sounded like an Opera singer when he screamed - Daddy and Uncle Dan, you need to work on this!! Preston was not quite as fussy and Peyton was holding me so tight around the neck we had to pry him off. Luckily everyone looks good, but we have to give up some of our favorite snacks (raisins, craisins, dries fruit snacks, chewy granola bars and juice, which I always water down anyway) because it looks like they have weak enamel - most likely due to being multiples.....This also means - I have to floss them 2x per day. This should be a fun challenge, no???? I will let you know how many fingers I loose!!
But I really can't complain - 4 thumbs up and no visit for 6 months - I'll take it!!
