Dentist and Toothfairy...

Austin showing off his "snaggletooth!"

Logan showing off his "special nose!"

I thought February was Dental Health Month! Ha! Well, anyhow, teeth has been a very prevalent theme in our house this month. We all went for our regular cleanings before school started, and while Roger and I were cavity free...both the boys were not. So, the nightly routine of brushing has been lengthened, and Mom is helping the little one...even though he INSISTS he can do "all by myself!"

They both went for their fillings this morning (and sealants for Austin too), and I'll tell you, I was quite worried about Logan going to have this done. Dr. Sturkie mentioned last time that he thought he could do Logan's with JUST the gas and no shot...which was good/bad (for ME). I am petrified of the dentist...hate it, hate it, hate it (though since we've switched, I shouldn't complain at all!!!). So, the thought of getting a filling and not being numb...well....I was nervous for him. But, he was quite the TROOPER!!! No tears, mouth wide open, and even a little silly (hence the laughing gas....)!!! He loved wearing "his special grape-scented nose!" Of course, to him it was very cool (because his brother didn't have one).

On top of all that, Austin lost three teeth in 2 days. So, our house got visited by the Toothfairy twice in the same week. Good thing she had cash! :)
