A Trip to the Dentist

     This afternoon the boys went to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned. Our appointment was right in the middle of homework time, so Logan took his kindle so he could practice his spelling words in the car and the waiting room. Of course, Lucas had to take his kindle too.

    
     They called us back pretty quickly. The boys were great while they were having their teeth cleaned. I think it helps that they do them both at the same time. Lucas will usually follow Logan's lead.

      The boys were so happy after their cleanings. Then we had to wait about 15 minutes for the dentist finish up with another patient to look at the boys and the talk to me. Dr. Yoon looked at Logan's teeth, and he looked great. Lucas is going to have to have the work done that we've put off. She wanted x-rays of Lucas' teeth to see how bad it is. Lucas only cooperated for one set. Then he was done. He was so defiant. I was stern. I begged. I bribed. I called Daddy. Lucas won. They only got one side of his mouth x-rayed. Lucas will have to have eight crowns. We have decisions to make about how we're going to have this done. I can only imagine how cooperative he'll be after watching him with the x-rays today. Dr. Yoon is great with the boys though. She has a four year old, so she was really patient and understanding with Lucas.
