Today Morgan had an appointment with the dentist. She did really good when they were cleaning her teeth, but then they found the cavities, she only had five. So they filled two and we scheduled another appointment for the others to be fixed. She did really good with the fillings too. The only thing she didn't like was the feeling of her mouth going numb, so next time they are going to give her laughing gas. She thinks that's a funny name. All of her cavities were between her molars. We try to brush really good but we don't floss, and that's why she had cavities. So if any of you out there have good ways of flossing the back of a 4-year-old's molars, let us know, we are definitely open to suggestions. The umbrella in the picture is one of her prizes for doing such a good job. Dave and I are going out with her tonight to get her a build-a-bear, another prize for doing a good job.

My computer is being anti-social and not very cooperative. The half-numb smile makes me want to smile. Poor Morgan, I hate it when my mouth is numb.
P.S. I love the bright color on the new shirt. Great choice!
Charity the best thing I think you could do is floss her teeth for her until she get old enough to do it herself. You know like they do when they give you a cleaning at the dentists. You could "show her how to do it" you and actually do it and then let her try. That's the best that I got. Sorry
