First Trip to the Dentist!

I can't believe it...we loaded up on Thursday(just me and two kiddos) and headed to the dentist for the first time! They had no clue what we were doing, but I was a nervous wreck wondering how I was supposed to keep one child from running wild through the office (Mahlon) and keep the other child from biting off the hygienist fingers(like she tries to do every night to us!) The hygienist and dentist were great and Mahlon did such a good job! He just laid there and kept pointing to the big overhead light...he did clamp down on the toothbrush tool and we had to tickle him to get him to let go! Sara Beth on the other hand screamed and cried(no tears...just drama!) The hygienist(Lindsay) said it actually helped her out because her mouth was opened the whole time! HA! Good news is all of the kicking and screaming every night that goes on while we brush teeth was well worth it! Their little teeth looked great, no plaque and no cavities! Mommy survived...Mahlon only got away once and ended up in the "break room" he is soooo fast! Sara Beth batted those long eyelashes and both babies walked out of there with 2 coloring books, stickers, a couple of plastic frogs and their "healthy teeth bags"(toothbrush, floss, toothpaste...) It was like Christmas!
