Today has been a full day. The boys went to school this morning, I ran a few errands while Keith and Harper napped, then we got the boys and I went to a meeting at Davis' school at noon and then lunch and off we went--to four dental appointments and swim lessons at 4. Now we are home for dinner and Keith is off to a meeting at work. When the day began I was not so sure how we were going to pull all this off, but it went smoothly.
Well, all except for part of the dental experience. Davis had told Carson repeatedly about how he would be getting shots when he went to the dentist, no matter how much Keith and I assured him this was not true he believed Davis. Fortunately, he did great and got his teeth cleaned, polished and a fluoride treatment--awesome news since it took us more than a year to get Davis worked up to that much stuff! And, all but one of us left with a clean bill of dental health...and the one that has to go back for two fillings, is CARSON! He has a horrible diet (as you all are sick of reading about) and he likes to "brush himself" and does not like my help so much...but going forward I will be helping more. My first kid to have cavities is him -- not surprised. But, on an up note he will be the first to have them fixed with a laser, since they are so small and on the surface they can do this--no shots! Where was this technology when I was little?!
On other breaking dental news, Davis has two teeth about to go, not just one--and he has one six year molar coming in. How did I not know he got molars at 6 and 12? This was not in my parenting manual...I have so much to learn...
