We see Edda’s dentist quarterly paying out of pocket for an extra cleaning between the regular six month visits. I’ve been trying so hard to clean her teeth well. Jeremy and I both descend upon her after dinner and Jeremy holds her mouth open by putting an old toothbrush between her upper and lower jaw and hold her head steady. And then I go to town with: a mouth rinse, water pik, flossing, electric toothbrush and then a final mouth rinse. No one likes this. And yet…her teeth and gums remain…inflamed and plaque filled. I’m always disappointed at myself at the dentist. Like a little checkmark next to oral hygiene – mom=bad. Hahaha. Last night I tried talking Jeremy into taking the brushing role and maybe he’d be better at it than me and then he could do it FOREVER. And he looked at me and said – I’m not falling for that trick. HAHAHA.
I went to Main Street for lunch yesterday because I had to pick up some paintings Megan and I did a few months ago and I was looking forward to eating at the Soul-ful Cafe because I did like the offerings they had at the cafe and I hadn’t been there in a while. Unfortunately, I think the business has not thrived and the sandwiches have been downgraded and the cookies were gone. I had a lackluster chicken caesar wrap, which I usually enjoy, but I did not. I ate lunch with Kelly and a new friend Drew which was fun.
