But what about the dentist?
. . .
My theory is that it's a result of: not brushing well or regularly, not having fluoride in the water, eating lots of sugars and drinking lots of juice. No matter what was the cause, both our sweet boys have a mouth full of trouble.
Ray likes to joke that the estimate on their dental work, looks like a write up for smashed car at a body shop. It really is that bad. I think both boys need something done to every single tooth in their head. Some are cavities that need to be filled; some are so far gone that the tooth needs to be pulled; some have decay and need some kind of work done to repair the sides of the tooth . . . it's, well, it's a lot.
After lots of debating -- even trying to get some work done just a little at a time -- we've decided to have the boys get all the work done at the hospital after being put to sleep. We're hoping that way the boys will be able to quickly begin having good memories with the dentist, and have their mouth fixed with the least amount of trauma.
The big day is scheduled for Feb. 12. Danny is going to go first and Mateo will follow much later that morning. The dentist said that they'll make sure all the bleeding and everything is done before they wake them up -- that way, with a couple of Tylenol, hopefully they'll be feeling pretty good by that evening.
. . .
Meanwhile, in other news, Mateo is doing well with preschool, Danny and I get to start the storytime at the library next week! I'm looking forward to it because I think it'll be a good way to start getting Danny ready for preschool. And it'll be good for him to have some fun, separate experiences from Mateo.
Anyway, that's the news from this way.
I hope everyone's off to a great start of the week!
