We had quite the shocking visit to the dentist this year with Emma. She returned from her first “big girl” visit with a poor report card. Five cavities! The first picture in this set is her getting them filled a few weeks later.

It’s normal for kids to have cavities, of course, but both Marla and I were mortified that she had so many and at such a young age. We swore right then and there that we were going to slash her sweets and make an extra effort to brush and floss.

You can see our resolve lasted oh-so-long… the very next picture is from playgroup chowing down on some yummy donuts.
