watching a movie at the dentist!

first time in the big kid dentist chair!

giggling through the cleaning

getting princess paint from dr. mike!

picking out a prize for doing a great job!
we had an awesome morning!! probably the best morning we've had in a long time! the kids were so well behaved - i did not need to scold, yell, talk to, either kid all morning! malloy slept until 7 and rex slept until 8:15! then it was off to the dentist! they love the waiting room there - there's toys, a train table, a kitchen, and a movie theater! i had talked to malloy a little about the dentist before we got there. i wasn't sure if we would be in a dentist chair or just sitting in my lap again. so i told her that she might be in the chair. she was all ready for it! she hopped right onto the chair. the hygienist was amazing with her! both kids got their teeth cleaned at the same time and i was so sad to missing the entire experience, even though we were in the chair next to her! the hygienist put the cleaning tool on malloy's finger so she could feel it "tickle" her before she put it in her mouth. malloy giggled through her entire cleaning - it was so cute! rex did amazing, too! judging by how much he resists getting his teeth brushed , i was very nervous about his behavior. BUT, they have tv screens hanging from the ceiling and toy story 3 had just started!!!! for those of you who don't know - rex LOVES toy story!!! he was so excited that it was on - he opened his mouth and let the hygienist brush and floss his teeth. phew! he was equally good for dr. mike. also, he was happy to talk to both hygienists and the dentist! usually with strangers, he's very shy and will scowl and put his head down. maybe it was the extra sleep but he was a different boy today! he got a gorilla toy and malloy got to pick a prize out of the toy machines. she thought it was so cool that she got a coin to "buy" her own toy! she also got a birthday crown and stickers! 
they were so good waiting while i took care of the bill and made their next appts! i am SO proud of both kids. i took them to tim horton's to get a few timbits b/c they were so good and then it was off to the gym! they did great there and listened so nicely - no running away or throwing fits when it was time to leave, no crying when i dropped them off! then we went to wegmans and they were the best kids there! both of them got new electric toothbrushes - malloy picked our ariel and rex got spiderman. when we got home, malloy got to put 3 stones in her happy jar for being such a good girl!!! 
we tried a later naptime - they both went to sleep (rex still took about 45 minutes to go to sleep)! i'm hoping that later naps and bedtimes will continue to result in later wake-up time in the morning! especially if they're not as cranky b/c they slept later!!! 
i'd love more days like today!!!!
