"open wide"....

On Thursday I left work early, M&M left school early.


Not cause anyone was sick...


Not for a special spur-of-the-moment trip to the beach (we would've brought Arissa for that, of course!)...


We had our (their) first encounter with:


dunh dunh dunnnnnnnnnn....


the dentist

(picture that said in a deep, scary voice, and the text in a big green slimey font)

:o)



We waited a long time before we were seen. So long in fact, that I had just gotten up to walk out and change dentists when they finally called our names. But then they were super nice and gentle with the girls, so my anger dissipated.


Nana came along:

When the dentist walked in and looked at what was waiting for him in his patient chair, he said "I'm good, but I'm not that good"...

Guess he wasn't up to two patients at once. :o) Maybe if he WAS, the wait time would be shorter!


Anyways, yes this was M&M first dentist appt, and yes they should have gone in much sooner.

But insurance companies being what they are, it didn't happen till now.


The girls were excited. I was scared. They have very low pain-tolerance levels.
If brushing their hair causes screams of pain and torture, how well could a trip to the dentist go?
Especially when the free dental screening at school had revealed that Mallory had 8 possible cavaties in that little sassy mouth of hers.


But! Never ceasing to amaze me, they loved it.
They loved it, and they got glowing reviews from Mr. Dentist.
Mariah = 0 cavaties.
Mallory = 1.
None and only 1! I was so glad.


Mallory, however, was dissappointed. She was so looking forward to getting lots of "metals" on her teeth like her friends. :o)


Mariah thought the "chair that went up to the sky" was awesome (and quite comfortable):

Mallory was fearless (I should have known better than to worry about her).

Here she is telling Mr. Make-Us-Wait-Forever: "Come on, dentist, hit me with your best shot!":

Mallory, show Mama how pretty the dentist made your teeth:
