Evidently my ego was fragile yesterday and needed some propping up…
Emma and I both had a good time at the dentist.
The dental hygienist who cleaned Emma’s teeth told her “Usually we let mom’s sit right here and wait while we clean your teeth!”
And Emma looked over at me and said “You sit right there mom!”
So I did.
And less than 30 minutes later she came back out and got me- Emma was done and the dentist wanted to go over a couple of things with me.
*Emma was VERY friendly and VERY cooperative.
*”She is a very self confident young lady, and obviously very intelligent.”
*Not a problem to be found, Mom, I can tell you help brush those teeth everyday!
* Her adult teeth look very well formed, but it will be another year before they start to come in.
So my daughters teeth are perfect. WOO HOO for me. I was so proud?
I am a freak. And some days I guess I’ll take whatever credit anyone wants to give me for this sometimes REALLY tough but wonderful job.
Honestly though? I have to admit its probably genetics- I have the worlds hardest enamel. And yes, I do help her brush every day, its true.
She will eventually need braces… But I knew that. And the dentist says she has a petite mouth and rather large adult teeth lurking up there…. So there may be crowding issues later on- but her teeth themselves are lovely 
And the price for a cleaning, exam, fluoride treatment and 4 xrays? 199.
I think Brian and I need to get married like yesterday so we’d have some insurance…
So yesterday I got to feel like I was doing something right. And I enjoyed it.

LOL. My teeth weren’t terrible… but the braces made me feel SO much better.
And Jeff also has really hard enamel, a good thing, and his teeth weren’t terrible but VERY crowded. And for a guy that’s cool, but if hers are anything like his she’ll want them…

I have a dentist appointment on the 25th next month. Could you and Emma go for me?
*Shiver*
Peoples fingers in my mouth give me the creeps.
Emma is so lucky to have a Mommy like you

I hate having my own teeth worked on- Ask them to give you some Valium or something…
And when I had my wisdom teeth out they just knocked me out completely. It was awesome.
