Out of the mouths of boys...
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 04:51PM We went to the dentist today. Noah and Micah were just getting general check ups now that we finally have Asher's dental issues under control. Both boys did really well (course, Noah's been to the dentist before...just not this particular one). Both boys will be going back again soon. Sigh.
Noah apparently has excellent dental health and good spacing...no cavities (yay!)...but...this bottom two front permanent teeth are coming in (one has very recently broken through even). He has yet to lose any baby teeth. You see the problem? Yeah. So, he'll be getting those bottom two teeth pulled. Micah, it seems, has a similar issue that Asher does...a rather small jaw, making for very tight spacing of the teeth...meaning lurking little cavities between teeth because, though we brush twice a day and all, have you ever tried to floss for a 2 year old regularly? Bleh. Yup, Micah's got two lovely little cavities right up front and will be getting those filled in about a month. Now, I ask you...how is it that Micah and Asher with their noggin size generally off the charts or at least at the top of it ended up with such small jaws? What's up with that?
Anyhow. We're home, right? Noah started getting a little worried about the pulling of teeth (until then, he'd been focusing on the tooth fairy coming TWICE). So, curious, he asks Asher, who's had a tooth pulled not long ago. Here's what I heard in the kitchen:
Noah: Did it hurt?
Asher: Yes!
Noah: But how much did it hurt? On a scale of one to ten, how much did it hurt?
Asher: I didn't get on a scale while I was there.
Bwaaahaaahaa! I was totally busting up here in my office. They still don't even realize it was funny. Just makes it all the more hilarious. ;)
Okay, I need to get back to scrapping...down to the wire here. Deadline for initial scans of everything is tomorrow. While I'm working away here, don't forget to leave a comment at the post below for my RAKs, okay? I'll announce winners Friday!
Oh, and here's a picture of Noah and Micah at the dentist...they had Noah go first and we played in the waiting area for a bit then came back to watch the last part so Micah could see. Then, they had Micah climb right up in the chair with Noah and did a quick cleaning, fluoride treatment and exam right there. Noah was very stoic about the whole thing and a good sport. Micah clutched his little plane (that he hasn't relinquished other than during sleep since I bought it a few days ago) and only bit the dentist once. ;)

don't feel bad, Hayley's first dental visit (went later than we were supposed to) had 8 cavities! WTH? and they wouldn't let me back there to take pictures. another WTH?!?! Hayley loves the mint dental floss and the Stim-u-dents. Friend's daughter uses some rinse that was recommended by their dentist - maybe try that?
Cute picture and wonderful response from Asher about the scale.
I love your entries - such good sources .
