Trip to the Dentist

Hey, y'all! Just a little update for ya :) Jackson went to the dentist for the first time and boy, what an experience! They kept us waiting for two hours because they lost Jack's chart. When I complained they rushed us back and kept apologizing about the wait. I figured we would be out soon, but nooooo. They took x-rays and the hygienist that worked with Jack was fun and helped him relax, but when he was done we waited another hour just for the dentist to come in!! Ooo, I was steamed.

When she did come in she was so rushed she talked too fast and Jack didn't know what she was saying. All he caught was "sugar bugs" so he freaked thinking bugs were going to bite him. I started walking him through it while she worked. There I was saying, "Here comes a funny noise, but it won't hurt, don't worry!" and "Ok, here comes a tickle, isn't that funny?" in the calmest voice I could. The dentist hardly explained anything and then ran out so someone else could clean his teeth. She did the same thing and the suction thingy scared him. They didn't put a bib on him so his shirt got wet and when we left they didn't even have any toys! It was horrid! He eventually got a super giant bouncy ball out of a machine at the restaurant we went to for dinner. Poor kid. I think he was traumatized. Where was uncle Chris when we needed him?!







I don't have any pictures of me and the belly lately, but I'll have Dan take a few this week and I'll post them soon.

Take care!
