The Dentist *cue dramatic music*
Today was a day that I have been dreading: Jack's dental appointment. I dreaded it for two reasons:
1. Jack has a fairly large cavity that just popped up one day.
2. Jack can be an utter nightmare when faced with something he doesn't want to do.
I don't believe in "surprising" him by not telling him where we are going and then just springing it on him, so he knew a couple of days in advance and he was NOT happy about it. Once we got in the office and saw the other children, he calmed down a bit. I kind of had to pick him up and hold him on the table for a minute for the tech to start cleaning his teeth but he relaxed and cooperated as soon as he realized it wouldn't hurt. He actually did really well! The dentist confirmed that he did have a couple of cavities and we will end up going back to have them taken care of. Yuck.
As a reward, I took him to Toys R Us and bought him and Sam some really cool workbooks and art supplies and I bought Matt a really cool talking plush Mater...but we will talk about that Mater later. Jack REALLY enjoyed working in his book and we spent a couple of hours with it!
Okay, well needless to say, Jack had a busy day. We ended up letting him stay up a bit later than usual and he got into the bag with Sam and Matt's stuff and found Mater. I took Mater away from him, explaining that it was a toy for Matt and Jack went nuts! Crying and falling on the ground and running around the house like a madman...it was kind of amazing, lol. At Toys R Us, I had gotten him a CARS microphone attached to a speaker and he ran over, turned it on and started singing and wailing a song about how he wanted Mater but "Mommy said it was for baby Maaaaaaaaaaaatt". He squalled so much about it, that I just let him play with it and hid it the next day. I promptly put him in bed.
