Dentist!

On Tuesday, six kids and four adults made the 1.5 hour trip to the closest pediatric dentist. (We all went together since it was such a trip to get there.) The kids had tons of fun playing together and eating yummy Chick-Fil-A but at least my two didn't love the dentist so much. They loved getting there, playing in the waiting room, talking about the dentist brushing their teeth and even picking out their new toothbrushes at the station.
But, when it actually came to getting in the chair, it was all screams and crying! Emma cracked me up before the "torture" began. When the hygienist asked them who wanted to go first, Emma responded politely, "Joshua!" Since Jeremy was at home I left one kid at the end of the chair crying while holding the other one down to put them in the chair. Then I flip-flopped who was crying in the chair and who was crying on the floor at the end of the chair. They only brushed and flossed their teeth! No instruments! The chair was the scary part for them! The hygienists laughed at me as I was snapping pictures of my children crying in the chair while getting their teeth brushed. Joshua at least would wear the sunglasses but Emma just hit them off when they tried to put them on her. So, here are the pictures of them crying in the chair...

In this one you can actually see my hands holding Emma's hands. This was not because she wanted me too, because she didn't! This was because I was having to hold them down so she would not hit the hygienist's hands away! Another reason the ladies were laughing at me while taking pictures!
Here are all the kiddos with nice clean teeth!!
The next couple are the kids playing outside while a couple mommas are finishing checking out inside. I thought they were cute so I threw them in!
Hopefully in six months we will once again walk away with a good report but without the crying!!
