Say Ahhhhh....

Jacob and Ella went to the dentist on Tuesday. This was Jacob's second time and Ella's first. We were really surprised that both kids did great. Actually, we were both surprised that Ella did geat. Jake is fine most of the time, but Ella always wants Mommy.

The kids picked out their toothbrushes (Dora for Ella and Darby, Tigger, and Pooh for Jacob) and laid right down and let the lady clean their teeth. They were so cute. We were allowed to come in and have a conference with the dentist who repeated the phrase "future orthodontics patients" one too many times. We were told to take lots of pictures of Jacob's "movie star smile" now because his adult teeth are too large for the spaces his little teeth will leave behind. FUTURE ORTHODONTICS PATIENT. Then with Ella, he asked if she used a pacifier. "No." Does she suck her thumb? "No." Hmmm... FUTURE ORTHODONTICS PATIENT. Poor Ella's baby teeth are crooked already and the x-rays showed that her adult teeth are crooked inside her gums. Good ol' Rhodes family genetics!

Afterwards, the kids received a sticker and a bouncy ball and we went to Braum's for burgers and ice cream.

I've had 2 dentists tell me I need braces... again. For about $5k. Pray their wisdom teeth come in without screwing up everything.
