Lately, we’ve just been laying low… you know, hanging out.
The older boys and I had dentist appointments today and I’m happy to report: no cavities!
It was the first time either one of the boys had been to the dentist, and I honestly didn’t know how they were going to do. I was most concerned about Jude because he can freak out pretty easily. But, he did great! Jett was more apprehensive, but he ended up doing great, too.
Josh met us at the dentist’s office and stayed with the kids while my teeth were cleaned. Jace sat in the stroller and watched me the whole time, not crying or complaining. He was awesome. I got finished with my cleaning/exam just in time to see the last part of Jett’s exam.
I was relieved to get it done and over with, we had been putting these appointments off for, well, since the kids have had teeth. But, did you know it is now some kind of a “law” that kids entering school are required to have a dental screening? Pshhh… whatever. But, it is still nice to have it taken care of, and now the boys are on a 6-month schedule with the rest of us.
Jessie….just the start of details of raising kids. Could I make a suggestion from experience? Start a file for each of your kids that is labeled medical and/or put it on your computer. Until and after they reach college each school your child attends you will have to know which vaccine, shots, etc they have had and from which doctor’s office they received it. Colleges even require vaccines and it is such a pain if you don’t have the records. Each time you have to remember which doctor’s office your child received the vaccine because they might ask for the proof from an that office! You might even be required to finger print your kids!
