Day 22

I think in the teeth department I am getting a poor grade as a parent. I haven't been the most responsible parent of taking my kids to the dentist. And for some of you that know me well would probably be shocked. I love going to the dentist. Just last year I got my first cavity and was devastated. James had only been to the dentist once, well twice, only because they split up one visit. And Jake had never been! And you would probably be surprised to hear that since we have a dentist in the family! Well the reason that they haven't been is because the first time I took James he screamed his head off. He was 4 years old and he would not let the Dr even look in his mouth! I had to have him lay his head in my lap so the dr could just "count" his teeth! I have talked to the boys many times about going to have Papa clean their teeth and they freak out. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! So we had this great idea. My friend Lindsay's kids go to Papa for the dentist so why don't we go the next time they go and watch them and see that it is no big deal! So that is what we did today! We met them at Papa's office and watched Ayden & Zoe get X-rays done and have their teeth cleaned. The boys had a great time. So now I am going to make appointments for them to see Papa and hopefully they will cooperate!
And afterwards we all went to get ice-cream! Good bribe that their is a Baskin- Robbins right next door!
