Dentist

Jonah had his first dentist appointment today. He did excellent. The dentist sang songs to him the whole time and told stories about tickling his teeth and dragons (or something like that). I was slightly distracted since Nathan had to work and the twins came to the appointment as well. I can not believe that I am saying this, but the whole thing was a breeze. Elias fused for a moment but then started to get into the dentist's sining and forgot he was upset. Bebe just looked around and smiled at all the nurses that passed by.

Jonah had no cavities and got all of his teeth cleaned and flossed. They asked if I floss and brush his teeth every night, to which I had to say, "no." Which is the truth. I do brush his teeth twice a day, but flossing is a whole other ball game. She gave me a sigh and said that I really needed to do that for the health of my baby. Yes, she actually called Jonah, "your baby," and I know that she was well aware that she was pulling on my heart strings. So, I supposed we will start flossing regularly. I always mean to do it but by bed time it's importance seems to fall lower and lower on the list.

Jonah got to pick out a toy car after he was done and was pretty excited about that. I think it made the whole thing tolerable for him. Nathan showed up to the appointment at the end (as he was trying to come help with the twins between work meetings). He asked Jonah if he wanted to come back tomorrow. Jonah simply said, "yes, but only to get another car, not to clean my teeth."
