Clean Teeth!

We just returned from the dentist where Emilio and Gabriela (for the first time without freaking out) got their pearly whites all cleaned up. They both did such a fantastic job at being cooperative with the hygienist and dentist today, I was a proud mama. They cracked me up because they both picked out "cookie dough" flavored tooth paste and when the hygienist was using it on them you could see their little tongues following the toothbrush everywhere she used it. They were like little lizards. They also both milked the hygienist for all the toys/prizes possible in the building. They went home with three stickers each, a pencil, a ring, a rubber duck (Emilio picked a lizard though), new toothbrush, floss, gum, and toothpaste, a balloon animal (Gabi had a pink poodle or "ploodle" as she calls it, and Emilio got a green sword), and a prize from the token machine. Whew! It was like coming home from a birthday party, they scored big time! The biggest prize for me was that they didn't have any cavities. Oh, and Luci was good too, she slept through the whole appointment thankfully (although she screamed through our Target errand earlier in the morning).
