They Love The Dentist

Am I the only mom whose daughters actually enjoy their dentist appointments?  Eva came into the kitchen this morning to tell me that her alarm didn't go off (we set it for 7:30 just to make sure she didn't oversleep).  I had to break the news to her that she got up an hour before the alarm.  She and I had a dentist appointment this morning that she was so excited to go to.

Up before the sisters.

Looks like fun, doesn't it?

Ivy's dentist appointment was rescheduled because her hygienist was ill.  She cried.  I'm glad they enjoy it so much because all 3 have to go back in 2 weeks to get holes filled and some sealants.  Do other adoptive moms have issues with holes in their children's teeth?  Eva has had 2 fillings due to holes and not cavities.  Joy has one cavity that completely broke off a corner of her molar.  Ivy had a cavity in her front tooth, but that was to be expected with her cleft and all.  I'm wondering if lack of nutrition in utero has affected their teeth.

And, Seth is still scheduled to be leaving on Sunday, six more days.  He already left his job to hang out with friends and family this last week home.  That familiar feeling is returning; the dread of saying good-bye.  I'm just doing my best to enjoy the time we have.

Seth always manages to get the girls all wound up.  Never a dull moment with him.

Sometimes he gets too wild with the girls.  Notice Eva is not present in the chaos?  She was in her room upset with her big brother.  She got over it rather quickly, though.  She can't stay mad too long.

We set up the badminton net for Jordan's surprise party a few weeks ago.  We are still enjoying it with the gang here at home.  The girls love to bring their blanket out and watch the competitive nature of our guys.
