Memories part two

I was brave yesterday and took both boys to the dentist at the same time. Twice the complaining in half the time! We have a great dentist, so they weren't afraid at all, it was more of the "Why do I have to lose my game time today to visit this place?" whining. Zach was just fine but Matt had 4! cavities.

When the nurse gave me the bad news she said she reviewed proper brushing procedures with him. I guess she did more than yell from the other room: "Is the water running yet? I don't hear any brushing going on!" She could probably tell more accurately what was being brushed than I could, of course I only see if the brush is wet or not.

When she was explaining this, she also told me she appreciated Matt's honesty, he told her he couldn't ever remember brushing his teeth. He didn't even know if he had ever had a toothbrush. I guess the fight in Target a month ago over buying the spider man versus the incredible hulk toothbrush really didn't stand out for him.

I was standing there trying to think what to say when she just handed me a new toothbrush. I think she pities me now, we'll see in 2 weeks when we go to get the 4! cavities filled.
