On Monday, Brad and I took the boys to Dr. Tom's...their dentist. Will has been several times, but this was Daniel's first time as a patient. I planned on taking lots of cute pictures, but things didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. Will got called back first, so when Daniel and I went back, he had no clue what he was doing in that big chair with that bib on, so he kept looking over at his brother.
I guess he realized his brother had his mouth wide open, so he decided he might ought to open his...
...and that's where the pictures stopped. Daniel was NOT wanting anything to do with his teeth being cleaned, so Mama had to sit in the chair sideways, hold him like we were hugging, lay him backwards, and hold his arms while the hygienist held his head and cleaned his teeth. Then I had to do the same thing while Dr. Tom examined him...all while he was screaming! Let's just say, that was not fun for anyone involved. The hygienist was very nice and told me that this was very normal for this age and that they were used to it and she could actually get to his teeth easier with his mouth open screaming!
But the good news is, both boys got a clean bill of health. They both have good, strong teeth, and nice spacing! Let's hope this is the news we get every 6 months!
