Easter, Halloween and the Dentist

I first wrote this post when I started my blog last year and I think it is worth repeating. Easter and Halloween – one thing both of these holidays have in common is candy. There is no way to escape it – so let your kids enjoy it and then get the extra candy out of the house! One idea is to bring it to work, leave it in the pantry area and coworkers will gobble it up quickly. You know what they say: “A taste on the lips stays forever on the hips.” Not your kids’ hips – lol -:)

Helpful tip from a good friend of mine: Schedule your kids’ dentist appointments right after Easter and Halloween. Your kids have to go to the dentist twice a year so why not schedule them right after the big sugar feast?

My kids love going to the dentist ! We visit Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City. A beautiful office, a wonderful dentist ( Dr. Stacey Reynolds) and lots of fun prizes when you are done. I don’t remember ever asking my parents when I could go to the dentist again. I was just glad when the dentist visit was over. Who knew going to the dentist could be so much fun?
