Another Round at the Dentist

The girls went to the dentist on Thursday. If anyone from Northern Virginia is reading this and you need an AWESOME pediatric dentist, let me know. They had a great time (yes, we really were at the dentist). When we went in SD in May, Audrey was a champ but Avery really wanted nothing to do with the dentist. This time, she was a bit suspicious at first, but she got on board and did superbly!

They each got to pick out their own toothbrush for the dentist to use (Avery picked a penguin, Audrey picked a zebra), their own flavor toothpaste (they both chose cotton candy), a prize at the end (they both chose a balloon ... I was surprised because other options included tattoos and getting nails painted, which they usually love), they got a cute zipper pouch with toothbrush, toothpaste, kid's floss and a timer to take home, and because they were both in the "no cavity" club, they got a gold coin to put in a gumball machine and get a prize. Audrey chose a ring, Avery chose a rubber cow. (I can't explain how a 2-year-old looks at all the possible prizes and decides on a rubber cow the size of a dime, but even 3 days later, she carries it around everywhere.)

It's a joy to spend gthe days with these girls, INCLUDING taking them to the dentist!

(I also have a video of Audrey but I tried for more than an hour to upload it and it never worked, so I'll try again later).
