Cavities!

The kids went for their semi-annual dentist checkup yesterday. I'm beginning to dread these visits. I never had cavities as a child, and can count on one hand the total cavities I've had in my life. James had only 1. Seems our kids aren't as fortunate. Quinn has had a number of cavities in his short life, and we've had to have them all filled as they are in his molars which won't fall out until he's 9 or 10. The last time we went in May, they were both cavity free and I guess we got a little over confident. This time, no such luck. Quinn has one and Keely has not only her first but her second as well. So we will be back to the dentist in 2 weeks for the fillings :(

Also, an update on Quinn's school behavior. It turns out that his teacher was right -- just our phone conversation and some home reinforcement has nipped his bad behavior in the bud. It's been two weeks and he has no conduct card marks. He has also received two "Purple Tickets" since then (they are special rewards for outstanding behavior)....one from his teacher for being great in class, and another from his EDP teacher for holding the door for the adults on the way out of church on Sunday. He's proud of himself, but told me the other night that "behaving is hard sometimes". At least he's doing better and hopefully that will continue!
