I did not get to blog yesterday as both kids decided that napping was not in the cards. That never makes for a good afternoon but I made it and so did they. Needless to say, it was an early night. But I digress, yesterday above all things was our SIX MONTH DENTIST CHECKUPS for both kids. Always necessary but never fun. Luckily, my mom has always con
sented to go with me and help out or I don't know what I would do. We pile in her car and are honest with both kids about where we are going. They are surprising agreeable, even Jess! Maybe this won't be as bad as last time. Really, to be honest, ever since Jackson has been about 2 years old, there have been no tears. Now, Jess is two so maybe this will be a turning point for her as well. Oh, by the way, we go to the BEST Pediatric Dentist in the world! His name is Dr. Wade and his website is
http://mykidsdentist.com/ and if you have small kids, you need to call him. I just found out yesterday that if your kids get a cavity (god forbid!) that they do not even have to give s
hots of Novocaine. They use a laser and it is painless - there is NO DRILLING!!! Anyway, back to my story. Jackson is called first and I pull him away from the video games in the lobby to go have a seat in his awesome purple dental chair. They have The Incredibles playing in the ceiling and Jackson puts on the headphones and he is good to go. Fifteen minutes and a fluoride treatment later and he is done. Next up, Jessica. She is out in the lobby with my mom and I hear her screaming in the hall as she brings her in. Obviously Jessica remembers this place from six months ago and is none too happy. She is still too little to go in the chair so she lays back on mine and Dr. Wade's knees, screaming the entire time like she was being stuck with red hot pokers. Which she was not, I guarantee you. Finally she is done and we find out she still has two more molars to come in, poor thing. As soon as this little Screaming Mimi gets down, she immediately has smiles, playing with toys and saying hi to the other kids in the exam room. Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. Jackson and Jessica go to collect their two toys each and
we all go have a celebratory lunch at Chili's, where they each have some horribly sweet sugary drink (Jackson red and Jessica blue) that would have Dr. Wade shaking his head! But we got to keep him in business, you know!
