The Happiest Place

You may be thinking I'm referring to Disneyland but I'm not. My kids love the dentist. I seriously could probably take them there for a fun Friday and they'd be just fine. I don't get it - although I love our dentist and all the sweet, wonderful people that work there. It's just not my go-to happy place :) But I really am thrilled to the max that my kids love it. It certainly helps make the trips there much easier.

The love it because they love Gail the hygienist. She treats them like royalty. Gives them toothbrushes and floss and their own little bags. Wish I could get away with that at Christmas...She lets them play with her big, fake teeth {not her own but her models :) } and they love making them talk and brushing them with a giant toothbrush.

Kale talks her ear off. I'm amazed she can get him quiet enough to even get in his mouth (or mine really for that matter...we catch up on 6 months of life while I'm there). This is Gail working on Kale {and he loves that their names rhyme). He tells everyone that he really likes his dentist Dr Gail. She got a kick out of being called Dr :)
Kate was already done by the time I remembered to pull out my phone for the blog. But here she is patiently waiting for big brother to be done, playing with her treasure from the treasure chest.Jack even got in the chair for a "ride" and a sneak peak in his mouth. When we'd say 'want to get in the chair Jack?' he'd say 'no' and then proceed to get in the chair. 'Wanna go for a ride Jack?', 'no' but he didn't complain when the chair rose. 'Will you open your mouth so we can look inside?', 'no' as he opens his mouth wide. He cracked us up as usual. And did amazingly, I thought, for a 2yr old.
And he enjoyed his pirate treasure afterwards.
Another reason they love Gail is because she gives them "dentist" stuff. The kids wore their masks and gloves home.
Thank you ladies at Dr Caldwell's office for another fabulous adventure. Fun Thursday!
