The girls love going to the dentist. They love it, truly. I told them on Sunday that we’d be going to the dentist on Tuesday, and they began celebrating. Yesterday when I said it was time to get ready for bed, Hannah said, “Oh good! This day passed really quickly and tomorrow is DENTIST DAY!!!”
Today was Simeon’s first time actually getting his mouth looked at, and the girls were so enthusiastic for him that he was completely hyped up about it all morning. The dental hygienist who worked with him loved it, because he hopped up in the chair, opened his mouth, uttered not one complaint, and was a model patient. She used a regular ol’ toothbrush on him today, since it was his first time, but I don’t think he would have minded the other type, either. He was completely agreeable for the dentist to look at his mouth, and he looked hilarious and quite cute in the dental chair with sunglasses on. I was sorry I forgot the camera…
No cavities for anyone! Plus, they all got balloons, new toothbrushes, floss, flossers, stickers, and magnetic calendars with their dentist’s name on them. Sim also got a tiny little plastic ninja, Naomi got a tiny little plastic alien with a parachute, and Hannah got a bouncy ball.
AND for a little icing on the cake, because of the fluoride treatment they got, they don’t get brushed or flossed at bedtime tonight. This is a favorite perk with Hannah, especially.
The dentist has retained her reputation as one of the best-loved outings of the Bernstein children.

The parachute alien must be a requisite prize at the dentists' office. We have 1-3 come home with us after any dentist visit.
I don't know why, but this post, out of all of the posts on the blog, makes me tear up. I am soooo proud of those cavity free Bernstein kids. Hello from Omaha, Matt the pre-DDS ;-)
