First trip to the dentist

Brett and Kate had their first trip to the dentist.  We were worried that Brett had a cavity, but thankfully he did not.  Big brother Brett went first and was so excited that he got to sit in the chair by the Toy Story poster.  He also got to were green glasses- his favorite color.  

Taking a look around his mouth.  All went well until they tried to clean his teeth- then he panicked.  The dentist was awesome, but we had one assistant at his head, one at his feet, and me holding his arms.  He was scared to death- poor thing.  
After Brett recovered the dentist told me that he did not have any cavities, but had a few spots that I needed to watch.  He also has a large overbite (like his mom and dad).
Kate got up in the chair, fake cried for a second because she saw her big brother do that, and then was a champ.  She acted like she had done this every day of her life.  
She was so brave and held her mouth wide open the whole time.  
When the dentist was finished with her, he told me that her teeth were "textbook perfect".  He said her teeth looked great, her bite was perfect, and her teeth were in perfect alignment.  I said, "So what you are telling me is that my child that has my genes has not so great teeth, and my child that does not have my genes has perfect teeth."  He laughed and said, "Yes, that is pretty much it."

Hey there! The pictures at the dentist are so cute! I laughed when I saw the topic for the day because I had the kids at the dentist today too! Mine fill the chairs a little more than yours--in fact Adam hung off the end about 2 feet! (he is 6'6'' now by the way, confirmed at his check up on Tuesday!) I loved the pictures from Disney and the strawberry patch too, I just haven't had time to leave you a message. I am so happy to see how well the kids are doing, and to see you so happy being a mom! I can't wait to see you on the 8th! Take care! Love you, Stacy
