This weekend my 4.5 year old daughter ran up begging me to play dentist. (Her 21 month old sister had very quickly gotten tired of a game that involved sitting still and having your mouth poked.) I asked her if I was allowed to read a book in the dentist chair since I often brought one to real dentist appointments. She said sure. So for the next 30 minutes I was REQUIRED to rest on the couch slightly propped up reading a book. The only cost was about every 5 minutes someone would run over after spending lots of time checking my X-ray and gently poke a toy in my mouth.
BEST GAME EVER! 
(Btw, if you’ve noticed my slightly sporadic blogging style, aka not blogging for months and months, I’m going to experiment with very short quick articles and see if I blog slightly better that way. )

I’ve often thought Jonah has a future as a dentist or an orthodontist, since one of his favorite ways to spend time while nursing is to stick one finger in my mouth. Some times he just hangs it there, some times he inspects my braces. (Mostly cute, some times annoying, always a better option than when he pulls my hair.)
Lol! Rachel does that too! Mostly she holds my hair but occasionally she likes to inspect my teeth.
