This was a busy week around here. On Monday, all 3 of the boys had a dentist appointment for their regular 6 month cleaning. Jack & Jared were cavity free. Yay!! That's twice in a row for them. :) Justin, however, had 1 cavity. We went back Friday to have it filled. They performed a new procedure called air abrasion (I think is what they called it) where they use sand of all things to "wash" the cavity out rather than drill it out. He didn't even need a deadening shot! He just had a little laughing gas to keep him relaxed. It was pretty incredible to see someone (I was in the room with him) have a cavity filled without novocaine. And he did amazingly well throughout.
Wednesday Jacky had his regular yearly eye appointment, and has to have new glasses...a slightly stronger prescription.
Thursday, Jack & Justin had their regular yearly eye appointment. Justin has had glasses since October '08. He only wore them during school time. That is, when I could convince him he needed to put them on. He now needs new glasses & has to wear them all the time. He has difficulty seeing close up (is that near-sighted?) and an astigmatism.
Jack has had perfect check ups since he was 6. I was shocked to find out at this appointment that he also now needs glasses. His vision is fine, but he also has an astigmatism.
So off we went Friday before Justin's dentist appointment to pick out frames & order glasses. Justin was determined he wanted to look like Spongebob when he wears glasses. lol These are the frames he picked out.
Jack was very excited to pick out his frames. He tried on many different ones: rectangle, oval, square, black, silver, colored, pewter. I think he tried on every pair of kids glasses they had on display. lol He finally decided on these.

Spongebob glasses! Woot. He cracked me up. I have two of my girls that have to wear them. Melanie wears hers all the time and Lindsay's are just for reading. Sometimes I forget about Lindsay having to wear them until I see her moving closer to the book. Great looking glasses guys!
Love the Spongebob glasses!!! Looking good boys ♥
the boys look fantastic in their new glasses!
I've read about that sand/air thing. It sounds so cool.
It really is pretty cool. He had no pain whatsoever and was totally relaxed during the whole procedure, which didn't take very long at all since we didn't have to wait for the novocain to kick in.
