Tip Tuesday: A Trip To The Dentist

It's time for our bi-yearly visits to the dentist. Our oldest LOVES the dentist, our youngest it too little and our middle child, well, he refused to open his mouth last time.

We're thankful that our dentist's chairs have TV's for the little guys to watch to keep them relaxed. But even with the entertainment, he still wanted me there.

Sean's not too keen on this whole dentist thing

After some words of encouragement from me and meeting and talking to the dentist, he did open wide...briefly. He doesn't have any cavities and the dentist says his teeth look great.

And I think it's sweet he wants to hold mommy's hand. In a few years, he'll be too cool to hold my hand. Be sure to speak slowly and calmly, always be there for them when they need you.

For today's tip Tuesday,  always to be available for your kids. And don't mind holding their little hands. Even though it may feel like "a hassle" to do some hand holding, too soon these days will be gone.
