A Visit with the Dentist

Well I finally got the children to the dentist, it's been far too long for Corben (before Germany) and this was Maddie's first trip. I chose to go to a place called "Smile Starters" because they specialize in pediatric dentistry but I have to say I was a little wary because they told me when I made the appointment that I could not go back with my kids while they had their procedures done. Corben I knew would be just fine with that, but I pictured Maddie being dragged from my arms kicking and screaming to the back of the office. So much for that....maybe I was a little sad that she had no problem WHATSOEVER waltzing off while holding big brother's hand to go through the big door where she had never been before. [Yeah, wish I had a picture of that now....!] She even smiled as she looked back....too grown up for me already! Madison was finished before Corben and skipped out with her little treasures, multiple stickers on her sweater, a bouncy ball, sparkly/glitter bracelet and a new toothbrush and toothpaste. Corben came out a bit later, sporting a sparkling smile (newly cleaned and treated with grape flouride) and his treasures -- 2 parachuting soldiers, stickers, a blue sparkle/glitter bracelet [???] and a toothbrush that looks like an adults [he thought that was really cool]. The best part for me however was the report that there were ZERO cativites! Yahoooooooo!
















Yep, we made out like bandits! :)
