Those Darn Sugar Bugs!

Yesterday was the big family outing to the Dentist. Normally, everything goes fine, the kids have never had a cavity. Preston got a clean review... no cavities! Yeah! But this appointment didn't go so well for Trevin and Daxy. They both have cavities - ouch! Trevin however got lucky. His cavity is on a loose tooth that should fall out this summer. Daxy however is not so lucky. He's going in for his first filling next month. And anyone who knows Daxy, knows that he isn't taking this news well. He's pretty nervous... and I fear it's our fault. We've always told the kids to "brush well, brush often, and be sure to get all of those sugar bugs... or you'll have to get a shot". We have clearly scared the kids to death of the dentist. Now I'm trying to convince Daxy that it won't be that bad (ya, right). In pure Daxy style... the little stinker came home from school today with a cupcake. When I told him this is the reason he got a cavity in the first place, he replied... "I already have one, another one won't hurt me". We'll let you know if he still has that same attitude after his first filling. That is if we can get him there! :)
