And Mom of the Year Award goes to...me...NOT!
I noticed last week what I thought was food in Lauren’s tooth. I brushed it out…I thought. Well tonight I noticed it again…this time I got a tooth pick out and was trying to pick out the dark spot but it would not move. Well bad mom of the year award goes to…ME! I think it’s a cavity. :-( What 4 year old gets a cavity? The one that went to bed with a sippy cup of milk until she was 3…the one that her parents didn’t brush her teeth every night, etc. (not to mention she doesn’t have genetics on her side…Kraig has had issues since he was a kid...yes honey I'm blaming the genetics part on you...the not brushing every night...that's my fault!). So we have an appointment Thursday morning at 8:30 in Fayetteville for her first ever check up. It was scheduled for October 4th and I was going to take both kids at the same time…but when I saw the dark spot on her tooth yesterday I decided we needed to take her in ASAP. So I just called the dentist (NW Pediatric Dental Associates in Fayetteville) and they are getting us in Thursday at 8:30 a.m.. I guess Lauren won't be on their Cavity Free Club. Geez! Lesson learned...brush her teeth twice a day everyday! The good news is she doesn't take milk to bed anymore and hasn't for a year...so hopefully this is the only damage we have done so far.
