New Dentist

The kids' new dentist is awesome.  His office knows children very well.  Poor John had to suffer through Disney/Pixar movies, toys, posters, and music playing over the intercom.  As an (almost) adult, he was a REALLY good sport and a huge help with the kids when he was done with his cleaning.  Dr. Higham's (hi-um) office is the coolest thing for kids.  They have a train station and princess castle...

 arcade games with multiple games on each machine...

 a race track, complete with Cars characters to race and...

 a mini movie theater complete with theater seating, surround sound, and popcorn (after your cleaning, of course!)

My kiddos did NOT want to leave.  Except John, who was patient but completely over the High School Musical and Chipmunks soundtracks playing overhead.  (In all fairness, I was done with that as well.)

For Ariana's 1st time at a dentist, she did amazing!  She allowed them to take x-rays, clean her teeth and put fluoride on them.  The hygienist and dentist were so impressed that she allowed that, especially because she is  only 2.  Aedan was a little more nervous, but followed all instructions without a hitch.  He unfortunately has some cavities between his molars, which we have to fix in a couple of weeks.  John also has some cavities that need to be fixed, but the dentist is old hat to him so he was slightly less than amused by his cleaning.  Not too shabby for a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon.
