Dad for the Win

This week, all three girls had dental appointments.  Mia and Ava even had their first experience with x-rays.  I was pretty impressed by their level of cooperation, although I'm not sure they were very fond of the process.  When the dentist came to check their teeth, she gave each of them a big thumbs up.  She even went as far as to say that Eliana had the cleanest toddler teeth she has seen in a long time.  That was all very lovely, but I can take no credit for the compliments.  Mate is the resident teeth-brusher in this house and deserves all the dental glory.  This seems like a silly thing to write about, except that I have to admit that I am often annoyed by Mate's commitment to brushing and flossing. If we are on a time crunch, the first thing I do is tell him he is going to have to alter his dental routine. I can assure you this isn't his favorite thing to hear.  After the girls' glowing report from the dentist, I'll work on being less annoyed and more thankful.
