Dentist

 Our adventure last Monday (24th) was to take all 4 kids to the dentist for a check up.

It was Lily's first visit. I love our dentist. They let her go back and watch the other kids. She even said encouraging words to Jon who does not especially love the dentist.

When it was her turn she was a champ! The dentist could not believe she was only 2.

The best news was that none of the kids had cavities!!!

Joey had a crown that needed to come off in the next two weeks or be pulled out due to the permanent tooth already being through his gum above the crown. He took his assignment seriously and wiggled like crazy and we pulled it out on Tuesday night! We also learned that Joey is missing one of his permanent molars and will someday need an implant.

And I was not surprised when the dentist recommended that Jon will need braces in the next few years. Joey will need them too but he has pretty straight teeth with plenty of room. Jon's teeth are more like my side of the family (and he had a pacifier for a few years) and so he has big teeth and not so much room. It looks like we may end up with two in braces at some point- the joys of parenthood!
