We got to the clinic, I sat down in the chair and Ty passed Mckinlay off to a couple of girls in his class. She started crying but we told them if they left the room and she couldn't see us she would probably be fine. WRONG! Half and hour later, bless their hearts, they come back in with a sobbing, splotchy red faced Mckinlay who had apparently not stopped crying as soon as we were out of site. So she spent the appointment as Daddy's assistant.
She just sat there and smiled and laughed. Do you think she will do this again when I go back and get my HUGE cavity filled? Maybe that is pressing our luck.It was so fun seeing Ty is action. He is one cute little dentist. I can see why one of his patients has a crush on him. But as cute as he is, should I be nervous about letting him fill my cavity? I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
Only teasing Ty. We all know how confident you are with your dental hand skills. I have complete faith in your confidence babe.
Looks like a cute little dental assistant in the making...Mckinlay that is! Why stop there...maybe she can be a dentist too and take over Dad's practice!
ReplyDeleteAdorable photos! What a miracle that your cutie would stay still while "assisting". Can you imagine if she'd have tried to jump into daddy's arms or something??
ReplyDeleteSo Darling! Just so I'm sure, family gets free dental care for life, right?
ReplyDeleteThat must be so weird having your husband do your dental work.
ReplyDeleteCool. Times like these make me wish Kurt was a dentist... or maybe something else that would allow us to save TONS of money...eye doctor? hair stylist? personal shopper? um.... maybe I'll stick with his current profession. Cute pix, btw.
ReplyDeleteOh look at that darling little family! I too am amazed that a child could simple sit peacefully for all that time. What's that like, exactly? :D Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. We took Cora to the Dentist with us and she did not like what they were doing to her dad. She thought he looked and and the sounds were scary.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! I had to do that with Ka'iwa one time, when I went to the Orthodontist. I wish we got free dental. I just spent $1000 (yes you read that right) on Kalena and Ka'iwa's teeth yesterday. 12 sliver teeth, 4 sets of front caps and about 8 other cavities later. How this happend I have no clue cuz my kids LOVE to brush their teeth. Good luck on getting your monster cavity filled. I'm sure Ty will be extra gentle.
ReplyDeleteThose are darling pictures! You guys have one seriously cute little girl!!!
ReplyDeleteJust watch out Meghan, I've heard what some dentists do when their patients are under anesthesia! Dang, I was trying to be funny, was that inappropriate?

ReplyDeleteThat's my boy! What a fun, fun experience for the three of you. Just keep remembering Ty's great Einstein sculpture. There's got to be a direct relationship between that and carving a filling to look and feel good.
ReplyDeleteLove, yo'momma
McKinlay makes me smile everytime I see her. Fun little family dentist experience.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this shot. I can't believe she sat still for you guys. However, I am very interested in the patient who had a crush on Ty. Who can blame them.
ReplyDeleteDylan went in for his first checkup. I was prepared for the worst, but he was amazing. He just took it all in and thought it was fun. The next day he asked when we could go back! I should let him enjoy it while he can.
ReplyDeleteThose pics are so darling!
ReplyDeleteHow funny. It must be incredibly nice not to have to worry about dental bills. I assume he is able to do it for free or at a very minimal cost. The pictures are dang cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! She is turing into quite the little helper! How nice to have a dentist in the fam! My teeth seriously need a check up!
ReplyDeleteIf she sits there and smiles and laughs as you get your cavity filled... haha. You might have a sadistic little girl on your hands :D Just teasing. Yeah that totally is an awesome picture-- great post!
ReplyDeletehey! i had a really good looking dentist at that same school, too! AND my children were climbing all over my lap! Must be in the water there...
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I think this is the most commented-on-blog entry I've ever seen! Wow!
ReplyDeleteLike Robyn said, watch out for that anesthesia. :)
