Robin Leach only wishes.
Friday, July 20, 2007 at 01:25AM I'm not sure anything is more riveting than looking at photos of kids at the dentist. What can I say? This is just my high rolling life. If you're lucky I'll break out the album that is solely devoted to the day Annie ate her first solids.
Actually (for once) I have a reason for posting the very mundane details of my life onto the world wide web. One, is that I just need a purpose for my point and shoot (that I LOVE). And two, I want to say some nice things about our pediatric dentist. I will be honest. I'm not really a doctor-person. Mostly because I like to ask questions, which most doctors don't seem to be fond of. And also, I make an effort to try to be on time for things. So I think it's rude when people make me wait for them for 2 hours. I wouldn't wait that long to meet Madonna, but there I sit, reading through last May's issue of Womans Day for the third time. Doctors, if you're going to make us wait, PLEASE at least stock up on current US Weeklys!
Okay, I will get off my soap box before it gets ugly. I really started this with the intention of giving props to Dr. Susie Hayden and her entire staff. They are so good at what they do and have everything down to a science. They are totally organized, always on time, and have ENDLESS patience with the children. They are truly amazing and wonderful. My kids look at going to the dentist in the same way they look at going to Chucky Cheese or the Circus.
For one, the entire office is decorated in an adorable jungle theme. They have the regular toys that you'd expect.
But they think of ALL the details, down to giving the kids sunglasses because the light is bright.
You can watch your kids through the glass window. Which makes it so easy when you have multiple children with you. ...Hey, I told you the third one has beaten me down. I'm now impressed my the most minor conveniences.
And they know every trick. Annie was crying, until they told her they were going to paint her teeth with magic princess glitter. That's all it took. Here she is kickin' it, watching Nemo. Yes, they have TVs mounted above every chair.
And of course the staple, sugar-free lollipop.
The photo of the back of Emily's head is so you can see her bouffant. This is how her hair dries naturally. I swear I don't back comb it. She is just pure Texan.

I love the grand-little-ones.
Hurray for dentists with props!
