here are some pics along with some "narration" :)...
i guess the flat screen t.v.'s with the movie "Madagascar" on in front of every chair didn't hurt either...
i wasn't gonna have them do the x-rays, but they convinced me that it's such a low amount of radiation and this way we'll know for sure if either of them has a cavity or not. so, we did it...
then, it was time for kaia's cleaning...
and her exam...
checking out the fish...
leia's turn...she was showing them how she brushes her teeth...they were impressed at how she circled her toothbrush. great job, lei-lei!
here she is waiting for the dentist to come do her exam...showing me how she's gonna open her mouth for him. ha.
when it was time for him to look in her mouth, the dentist thought for a 3 year old, she'd do better if she sat on mine or derek's lap (well, mine wouldn't have work very well anyways with this 35 week along belly)...but, when derek asked her if she wanted to sit on his lap for the exam, she looked at us like, "are you kidding, i'm not a baby". so, he reclined her back and she did perfectly...didn't act scared at all and did everything she asked. 
then, when they did leia's x-rays (only a couple)...she thought they were putting a cracker in her mouth...she kept calling it that, but "it was one you couldn't eat". silly girl!
getting them nice and shiny! she looked so proud when the dental hygenist said, "you're doing SO good, are you sure you're not an undercover 5 year old!"...she's SO over being called a baby, so that was a big deal for her.
then...as kaia got a tiny cavity filled (so small that it didn't even show up on the x-ray & she didn't even have to get numbed...thank goodness. NO shots!)...leia "played" video games, she had no clue what she was doing, but hey...she felt like a big kid.
GREAT job girls...we'll be doing it again in 6 months or so (minus the x-rays and hopefully minus the fillings!)
