Doctors and Dentists

The kids went in last week for their 6 month dental exams. It didn't go as well as their first exams because:
1) Annika had to get x-rays since she hadn't last time (she wasn't 3), but I didn't know this & had not prepared her for it;
2) Annika had wanted Kellen to go first, but since he had x-rays last time, she had to go first;
3) The dental hygienist poked Kellen's tongue with the electric toothbrush while brushing his teeth, so he didn't want her to finish -- but he did eventually let her;
4) Annika wasn't nearly as gung-ho to get into the chair after Kellen - she is wiser now;
5) Kellen had 2 cavities.:(

Kaarin also got a check-up, & she did great.:) After the appt., we went to get a Little Caesar's pizza & Toy Story 3 from Redbox. That is what we did last time, so it will probably become our 'tradition.' Overall the kids did great, but it was not with as much excitement as last time.

Then, the next day, we headed back to the Dr. for a check-up for everybody due to lingering colds & coughs (coughs that were inducing vomit). Turns out Annika had a double ear infection!!:( Poor baby. Antibiotics are helping her feel better.:) The other 2 were fine, but good to know.
