Sarah Kate went to the dentist yesterday to have a cavity filled. This will probably be the first of many. She can't stand toothpaste. I think I have bought every flavor available and she does not like any of them. The only one she will sometimes use is Tom's all natural. It is hard to find. She usually just brushes with water. Not good, I know!I did not know how she would act at the dentist, but she was PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!! She was the model child. Every employee their bragged on how good she was. We love the dentist and the clinic we take her to. They have such a great way of explaining everything thing to children.
SK was perfect the whole time until the second we stepped outside the office she started crying really hard and really loud saying, "they hurt my mouth!" "Oooooohhhhhh, they hurt me." She was saying this because her mouth felt numb and swollen. She cried for one hour until I ordered her some chicken and french fries from a drive through and her mouth suddenly felt completely good and normal. Then I told her that she had to wait thirty more minutes until she ate and she cried for an entire thirty minutes.
I went to the eye doctor on Wednesday for my yearly exam. The dr, told me my eyes were getting a little worse every year. I think it is called "almost 40."
Daddy saw his heart surgeon yesterday and got a very very good report. We are so thankful. We just want his ankle to get 100%.

and yea for SK for being good at the dentist...i am sure my dentist wishes i would be good...LOL
Let me know if you need to find Tom's toothpaste.
In Philly, we have a ton of Whole Foods shops here and that is where I do most of my grocery shopping (along with Trader Joe's).
I would be happy to pick it up if you need it and send it off to you!
SO brave! I hate the dentist and always have to take a little something to keep me calm. ; ) Cute overalls!
The ferrets and bumpy hair are hilarious. I'm laughing so hard about that. It's also too funny that she draws Steve small. I'm sure Steve loves that!
We get our Tom's toothpaste through Amazon. You can sign up for Subscribe&Save so it is even cheaper. So much easier than hunting it down!
That's the direct link to drugstore.com for Tom's Children's Toothpaste. It's only $2.95/tube and free shipping if you spend $25 : )
I went through this with my daughter to. She uses a prescription toothpaste that is vanilla and it is the only one she will use (she is 13 now). You can get the dentist to get it for you. It is called control RX, vanilla mint. It has hardly any mint in it but lots of fluoride so it takes a tiny amount. My daughter can not stand the flavor of mint or toothpaste it gags her. Weird I think but the dentist told us that it was not an option and that she had to pick one that had fluoride. You might give that one a try.
