UGH! Talk about tooth decay...

We had a feeling that something wasn't quite right with Rachel's teeth. Good thing she went to the dentist today. It should only take about 27 more visits before she's looking better :)



Rachel chose these teeth as her 'prize' :) She was so excited to finally be able to go to the dentist. Today was her first ever visit and she did great!! The dentist told her she was the "most patientest" (those were Rachel's words obviously!!). She had a good time and was so happy when the dentist told her that her teeth were the cleanest of all the kids!!

We had appointments for Nathan, Daniel, Peter, Andrew, and Rachel and were there from 2-5pm--WOW! I figured it would be fine since it was Haven's nap time. Hmm, I must have forgotten to remind her. She slept for maybe 10 minutes when we got there, sat in her carseat and played for about 15-20, told me that it would be a good idea if I picked her up, and proceeded to be the bestest baby for the next 2 hours!! She fell asleep for about 30 minutes in there sometime and I fed her before we left. Other than that, she just let me hold her and was perfectly fine. I am so thankful--it could've been utterly miserably if she had been fussy.

The other kids did well, too--they were very quietly "fussy"!! They brought their school to do, but the books and toys that were there proved to be too much of a temptation :) That's fine--we can do school tomorrow. Rachel and Ethan liked playing with the play food, Sarah read, Peter complained, Andrew walked around, Daniel and Sarah played checkers (Sarah won!), and Nathan read and did homework.

Bottom line: no cavities for anyone and we were able to have 5 kids seen for less than the price of one at a 'normal' dentist!!!!!!!! (These were dental students.)
