Daniel and Laura Ann had their first visit to the dentist on Wednesday (I know Daniel is way late & I have several great excuses, but I'll spare you those). I was nervous & couldn't imagine either one of them cooperating, but they both amazingly, did a super job. The hygenist cleaned the puppy's teeth first & showed them what she was going to do, then Daniel had a turn & LA could hardly wait for her turn. She loved the water sprayer & suction tools & was constantly asking for a drink & to "spit". It was really funny! Daniel was all business while his teeth were being cleaned & was perfectly still. His mind was on going to the treasure box when we got finished! They both got good reports- no cavities! Yea!
We left the dentist & went straight to the pediatrician, where they were both diagnosed with ear infections. These are the first ones they've had in over a year, so I guess I can't complain. I suspected Daniel had one, the reason for the appointment. Laura Ann was just along for the ride & got her ears checked just because we were there & she had one too.
We had another pleasant visit. Usually any appointment where I have to take both of them is chaotic & I leave completely stressed, but today was different. We spent the entire morning in dentist/doctor's offices & I wasn't stressed the entire time & they were so well behaved. There was no screaming & they both fully cooperated both places- it was great! I was thinking to myself, who are these children? Then I realized that they are just older versions of the toddlers that used to cause all of the chaos in doctors appointments. I really miss my screaming toddlers!! I know I say this every other post, but everyday is a reminder in some way of how they are growing up ever so fast.
