Fluoride, Foam and Fwoh-upp

So I, Ruth, took Rachel and Emily to the dentist for a cleaning today. Rachel, being the oldest, sat in the chair first while Emily watched from the side. Rachel commented about how she didn't like the flavor of the cleaning paste and gagged a couple of times. They used some foamy fluoride that also made her gag but she did what she was told and kept it in her mouth until they told her to spit. So Rachel was done and the girls traded places. I stood beside Emily to help reassure her that everything was cool. She actually laughed while they cleaned her teeth, but when it came time to rinse she too started to gag. So when they squirted the foamy fluoride in her mouth she gagged one last time and lost her lunch on the poor dental assistant. Luckily she was wearing a face shield and a smock. Oh, the joys of Motherhood!

good thing they didn't go to JaShon. I don't think he can handle kids throwing up on him.
