A tank full of Dorys at the dentist's office

I know, I know. Two fish shots in one week? But believe me, this one was better than posting this one (WARNING: don't click if you're squeamish).

I'm thankful that the kids' dentist is so cool that not only does he have a gigantic tank full of saltwater fish (containing both Nemo and Dory), but he also has video screens embedded in the ceiling above each dentist chair. Ruthie loves her dentist so much that she actually gets excited when her six-month checkups roll around.

I'm also grateful that both of them came away from the appointment with no cavities (that picture was really nothing more than the aftermath of losing yet one more baby tooth...).
