A Trip to the Dentist…

Friday, Riley and Lincoln both had their first dentist appointments. It was weird taking them to a different dentist other than my Grandad or Uncle Neal, but we found someone down here we like. However, I always mention that my Uncle and Grandad are dentists, just so they know they better do a good job or else… 🙂

I had told Ri in the morning she would be going and right away she said, “but I don’t want to go”. Great. I knew it was going to be a struggle with her if she already was saying she didn’t want to go. We got there, they took Riley back and she started freaking out (like she ALWAYS does when she does anything new). I asked Ty very nicely to please, please, please come with me (ok, maybe I begged) because I really didn’t know if I would be able to take all three kids by myself when I knew Riley would not do well. Thankfully he met us there and she was able to sit on Ty’s lap, as I had Emmersyn in the Moby Wrap, and was chasing Lincoln everywhere. Most of the time was spent trying to pry Riley’s hands from her clenched mouth. Once she finally relaxed she did wonderfully.

I had taken Lincoln out of the room because I didn’t want it to scare him. But once it was his tuen he, too, sat on Ty’s lap and didn’t want anything to do with the hygenist but he didn’t freak out and there were no tears. Both kids had no cavaties and he said the spacing between their teeth looked good. I am thankful that Emmersyn slept in the Moby the entire appointment and I am thankful I don’t have to take them back for 6 months :).
**I told Dr. B to smile because he was about to make his debut on my blog…so he did :)! Cool guy.

Afterwards we rewarded them (and ourselves) with Chick-Fil-A!
