Addy had her first dentist appointment yesterday! I can not even explain to you what a big girl she was, the dentist was amazed with the fact that she was so good! Ok, so that was the good news, now to the bad! My daughter had.....are you ready for this? SEVEN cavities, talk about feeling like a failure of a mom? I was completley shocked, I told him "I can not say that we are the absolute best with brushing but I can tell you what, we do it alot more than most kids would!" Obviously, we need to do it more! He said that it had nothing to do with hygine and had everything to do with the fact that for the first 3 years of Addy's life she slept with a sippy cup of milk next to her at night time, infact she would wake up about 3 times a night and ask for her milk! No one ever wanted to keep her for that reason, that she would wake you up in the middle of the night and whine for her milk. Anyway, when we went through the whole potty training thing, it was the end of the milk thing at night time or else she would make mistakes! So now because of the fact that we allowed that we are paying for it, and I mean REALLY paying for it!! She goes back to three different appointments to get these taken care of and she even has to get a shot in her mouth! We or I guess that I should say "I" was wanting to take her to a pedidontist to where they would knock her out to fill all of these because that is alot of shots in the mouth that she is going to need! But.....the dentisit said that he did not think Addy would have any trouble at all being that she was so good! The only probelm is, that I can't be in the room! They don't allow the parents in the room when they are doing something like that because they say it makes it harder on the dentist, so I expect that I will probably be in the waiting room crying by myself.

So.....the moral of the story is......anyone that is around my daughter, please don't give her candy!!
