LOOK MOM NO .....

I took all three kids to the dentist on Monday for their semi-annual appointments. The appointment was S's first time seeing a dentist....at least here in the U.S. I had been somewhat nervous about her visit so I waited until the boys were due for their check-ups before scheduling her. I wanted her to be able to go with the boys to help ease any fears that she may have had.
The parents are not permitted to go back in the examining area so that contributed to my nerves as well. What if she cried for me? What if she was scared and I was not there to comfort her?
I spoke with S before going and did my best to try to explain what was going to happen.
She had a blast in the waiting area playing with all of their toys and hardly hesitated when their names were called. She walked in the back holding her big brothers hands looking so cute. Then I actually had a bit of time to read a magazine without being interrupted. It was actually kind of nice.
Then one by one they came out...little b first. He said that S was doing really well.
Next was E....looking a bit sad. HHMMM. Then S came out with a big smile. Next it was my time to speak with the dentist. He said that in 27 years of practice, he has never seen an adoptive child from China, Russia, etc have NO tooth decay. Her teeth are perfect! Yeah!! Thank you God for life's little blessings and thank you Shiyan SWI for helping take great care of S's teeth.
I tried to transfer some pictures of S and her teeth but for some reason my came or my program is not allowing the transfer. I'll keep trying and perhaps get them posted another time.
The boys had good visits as well. No Cavities!!! Hooray! E was told that he needs to brush longer though...hence the long face.

We are now getting into summer vacation. So far so good. One of these days the boys are going to start complaining that they are bored. Hopefully it won't be for a long while. The key is to have things planned for them. Perhaps we'll go to the zoo or to Six Flags Safari. I haven't done that since my teenage years and I think the kids would enjoy seeing the animals up close.

Until the next time,
