First Dentist Appointment

The dentist office is literally the last place you want to take 2 screaming toddlers, but we had to get them in for their first checkup before Hunter gets his adult teeth! Honestly at this point it wouldn't surprise me if he got his wisdom teeth.. ok, I'm obviously exaggerating, but Hailey is still getting her canines and he's had his for 7 months already!

Needless to say, the waiting room wasn't the best place to test out our kids patience. They were both reaching for and shaking the blinds, climbing up and down the chairs and yelling for no reason. To make things better, daycare gave them blue jello for a snack that afternoon. ugh

I was glad when I heard it was a 'happy visit'.. (I use that term loosely). The dental assistant showed the kids how everything worked and gave us tips on how to floss their teeth. The kids were interested with the water sucked and some of the other tools.. especially the chair that went up and down. Hunter was much more interested in the cool tricks than Hailey. She was such a daddy's girl and was acting timid. What happened to the girl in the waiting room?!

It ended up being a pretty good appointment overall, but neither let the dentist into their mouths (which I guess is normal on the 1st and 2nd visit). Glad we got that done.. mommy and daddy's turn next week!
