4.7: Pearly whites
We're in Houston tonight, visiting Rex's side of the family, and letting the girls have a night on their own with his mom. I'm pretty sure something really funny or cute happened with at least one of the kids on the way down, but I'm so distracted by this thing that's stuck in between my teeth that I can't remember past five minutes ago.
Ah! Teeth. That reminds me. The girls and I had our biannual dentist appointments this week. They did wonderfully. Their teeth are pretty and perfect and cavity free, and so they still think it's fun to have their teeth cleaned and watch videos and get new princess toothbrushes.
I used to think it was fun to go to the dentist.
I still don't really mind the cleaning and all that, and I'm also happy to get something for "free." (Side note, they had your-name-here lip balm in a basket as a consolation gift. I don't know what brand it is, but I keep curling my lip up under my nose to smell the vanilla. Yummy.) And I was happy enough that I don't have any new cavities, since for years I had at least one new one every visit. I'm less thrilled that all of my old fillings are falling apart and need to be replaced. I could shove hundred dollar bills into my mouth and not be able to fit enough in to pay for what that man is going to do to me over the next month.
And when he's done, I won't even have anything to show for it, since he's replacing my silver fillings with composite that looks like normal teeth. For $2K, shouldn't I get some bling?
