Hi everyone! This has nothing to do with anything really, but how damn gorgeous is Dr Travis Stork on the TV show The Doctors!?! I have just flicked the telly on and I am hooked, not because of the content of the show but the dreamy Dr Stork!! If you haven't ever seen the show, Google it because he is well worth the look! Sigh, anyway, back on track. The appointment that I briefly mentioned in yesterday's blog was taking Sophie to the Dentist for the first time and I wanted to share that story with you today...

We went to this great place at Thornlands called TFI where the Dentist and her assistant actually dress up as the Tooth Fairy! It was amazing! Tooth Fairy Steph looked after Sophie and she was astounded at how well behaved she was as a patient. She even remarked (genuinely) that Soph is the best four year old she's ever seen. Proud Mummy moment for sure :) Not such a proud moment is that Sophie needed to get a cavity filled (another one to chalk up to my mother of the year award). The clever way that to Tooth Fairy did this was by "painting" a white fairy on Sophie's tooth. Genius! Now Sophie is very aware of the fairy on her tooth and makes sure she brushes it very well. I can't say enough good things about this place so if you live locally, I highly recommend TFI for your kids dentistry!! 

As you can imagine, Sophie's favourite game is now "Dentists" so yesterday afternoon the kids and I all took turns at being the patient. When it was my turn, I lay on the couch and both kids came and sat beside me to check out my teeth. Sophie used a little fairy wand to stick in my mouth but Elliott thought the best idea would be to use the handle of the toy mop! I got quite a shock when he shoved that down my gob! Sophie hopped up to collect some more dentist tools and I lay there with my mouth open saying "agh" for Elliott. He had Sophie's fairy wand in hand and stuck that in my mouth a couple of times and then he leaned over and stuck his spitty tongue in my mouth! Eeew, kids are so gross! I wet myself laughing of course and suggested that perhaps my turn at being the patient was over :) Always an adventure in our house!
