I am so ...Thank you all for all your encouragement. I am so blessed that no one I know judges me for my downfalls. <BR/><BR/>Jenny, Adam and I have both got a lot of cavities so I think that that is very true, but I hoped that the chain would be broken... I guess negative and negative very rarely will make possitive. That is partly why I am so frustrated about Annabelle not cooperating. I really want to see if her are okay. It was so nice to read what you said. Just to know people aren't saying... WHAT A HORRID MOM!!! haha what a strange fear to have! I almost didn't post this post just in case some would be thinking in that way. <BR/><BR/>Lorraine, so glad I am not alone on fussy girls with dentists! It can be discouraging but as you said, one step at a time. <BR/><BR/>Gwen, me too, I just had one filled actually. It was a little devistating and I am trying hard to not forget the flossing anymore. By the way, my mom said she had to laugh when she saw your comment about her. So funny you are, btw, I don't know your email. Can you send it to me. This time I will make sure it is in my address book on hotmail.<BR/><BR/>Tanya, so good to see a comment from you! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I am hoping it won't take long to get in the habit! I have to do it for my own teeth too so... I have a lot to work on. At least I don't have to floss Adam's!Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813415559933242498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13044185.post-17431294055636435402007-02-07T22:03:00.000-08:002007-02-07T22:03:00.000-08:00hey char...

I preped her a ton for what to expect this time when she went to the dentist, but no matter how much prepping I did it still didn't change the 'yucky' tasting tooth paste and 'grittyness' of it so they had to just polish her teeth with water... one step at a time I guess :-)Laneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576569819570282950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13044185.post-9722943163416179722007-02-07T19:25:00.000-08:002007-02-07T19:25:00.000-08:00You are very blessed that your children like to go...You are very blessed that your children like to go to the dentist.You should most definatly not feel like a bad Mom for not being as you say diligent about flossing.As you are far from that.Plus remember they are his baby teeth and will fall out and with regular brushing and flossing his adult teeth will be awesome.By starting this early in flossing the kids will soon enough remember flossing as part of brushing their teeth.In no time at all it will all seem routine.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402710487324512737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13044185.post-33575841898662772942007-02-07T14:46:00.000-08:002007-02-07T14:46:00.000-08:00Don't feel bad about Joshua's teeth. Really, it's...Don't feel bad about Joshua's teeth. Really, it's all about the enamel, and genetics. I took horrible care of my teeth as a youngster(never once flossed) and I only had one tiny cavity. My dad has never flossed his whole life and has never had a cavity.<br />I have a friend who took really awesome, diligent care of her teeth and she has a mouth full of cavities.<br />It's nothing you've done or not done.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616883470250983923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13044185.post-84058751405216271792007-02-07T14:26:00.000-08:002007-02-07T14:26:00.000-08:00Poor Joshua!

I tied a piece of floss around my toothbrush handle to remind myself!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261271864837959598noreply@blogger.com
