Today the girls both had dental checks bright and early. I scheduled them early so they wouldn't miss too much school, and we managed to get them back in class by 9am. Scheduling any medical appointments right after the office opens insures you won't spend hours in the waiting room, which is really important when your trying to corral multiple children.
The chairs in our dentist's office are setup back-to-back in the middle of the room with two chairs facing out at each end of the row. This is an open invitation for my children to crawl underneath and in between them, which is NOT ok with me, even in an empty waiting room. We were only waiting a few minutes, like less than 5, and I had to threaten to take away their computer privileges a few times just to keep them in the chairs.
I am glad to report they both did well during their cleanings, and checked out cavity-free!
I won't be posting a lunchbox article today because the girls wanted to eat chicken nuggets in the cafeteria. Isis had a change of heart on the way to school, but it was too late. This will be the first time she's gone through the lunch line, so she's a little anxious, but hopefully they both eat something! It's hard for me to release control and hope they get good food, but sometimes being a good mom means letting them make choices and accepting that they will be fine even if they aren't getting the best.
