Day 187: Dentist & Naps

Older kids had a Dentist appointment today, 6 month cleaning. We were there 2 hours, but it didn't seem to be that long. Kwin stayed occupied, and played with their toys, he does pretty good, it's just we had problems if HE was seeing the Dr. LOL All the boys had no cavities, but Chelsea on the other hand, had 2. And she has an abscessed tooth!! She said it doesn't hurt, and has never complained of pain. I'm not happy with her dental report. She has to be on antibiotics, and have the tooth pulled. Ugh! I'm always on that kid to brush!! Luckily, it's a baby tooth. I have noticed that Chelsea & Kwin have had more troubles with their teeth than the older boys have had. Just makes me wonder. The older boys were on fluoride drops when they were younger, I declined with Chelsea & Kwin. Chelsea & Kwin were extended breast feeders, while Keagan & Kyle were formula fed, and Kameron was breast fed for 6 months, and then formula for 6 months. Just makes me wonder. Maybe it's the new crap that is in food nowadays? Our dentist's tell you, it's not your fault, as some kids are more prone to decay, than others, and that their own kids even get dental decay. Made me feel better for a second, but I still think it's our fault, they need to brush more, and we have slacked, and now they have decayed teeth. Frank's family has teeth problems, so it could be genetics, too? I showed Chelsea pictures of decayed teeth, and told her she needs to scrub those puppies really good, and she will be drinking more water, and having a tweak in her diet. She is the pickiest eater out of the bunch, so this shall be fun.

We got home, had lunch, and I was tired. Kwintyn kept pestering Chelsea, so I picked him up, took him to our bedroom, put him in our bed, and laid down with him. He was out 10 minutes later, and I took a nap with him. I was pleased that my plan had worked, as they often backfire on me. No protest's, no nothing. Just Hi, Mom. Hahaha We took like a 2 hour nap, and that resulted in a late dinner, but everyone ate well, and some had seconds. I felt lazy after my nap, and it's a dreary day here, a bit chilly. So.......I made graphic art instead. :P No way was I going to try to take a picture of Kwin sleeping, on click, and he would have jumped, and awoken.....I've tried. lol
