A Happy Dental Appt

Yesterday both the kids had their semi-annual dental appt. Rhea has been home since Monday with a nasty cold and a wicked cough. She was much better and I was plnning to send her to school yesterday. The dental appt was at 8:00Am and I was wondering what made me to take an 8:00Am appt in Dec. its so cold and the kids wake up a little late and need more warming up time before they get into the routine. But it worked out pretty well, it was one of those days that they decided to cooperate. Aji left early so I had to get them both ready and luckily we managed to get out of the house by 7:30. We got to the Dr. office at 8:03 not too bad. They both had a great appt..NO CAVITIES!!! which is great news.

Rhea had some calcification on some of her teeth at the last appt and the Dr. had given me a 'staright' tak about stopping her sleeping with her milk sippy and brushing her teeth at night at the last visit. I stopped the milk routine rightaway and even if she wanted milk most of the time i got her to rinse her mouth before she went to bed. We havent been perfect with the night time brushing but we try and do it most days which i think is pretty good. So both of them were super uber happy since they got 2 big STICKERS and a goody bag with a new brush, paste and dental floss. They each also got a balloon and a toy - Sean picked up a plastic bat and was excited to take it to school since they were talking about hibernation habits of the wild and Rhea got a watch.

Funny Story - In the evening she wanted to wear it and i asked her - So what time is it Rhea and after checking the dial she confidently told me its ten tharty. She then took a second look and said, its Ten A Clack. She definitely has a southern accent going on...wonder where she gets that from...
