Yesterday Ethan had to get 2 cavities filled. He did a great job and didn't even flinch when the "mosquitos" gave him a little pinch in his mouth. He sat patiently and stared at the ceiling while "Mr. Whistler" aka "The Drill" went to work getting the cavity bugs out of his mouth. The fact that Ethan sat still is a miracle, considering the horrible experience he had at his first dental appointment (that was a different dentist, one we will NEVER go to again. We LOVE our dentist now and is actually from Jeff's hometown. If anyone would like a referral to a great dentist for adults and kids, we will gladly refer him!) So, Ethan sat as still as could be and let them do their work...until it was time for the fillings. This is probably the easiest part of the whole process but Ethan decided he'd had enough. He told them he didn't like it and he sat up and started to cry, then got out of the chair. They were so good to help me calm him down and it took the dentist promising not one but two prizes and some bribary from me with a trip to the Bronco store afterward. (He picked out the shirt he's wearing in the picture and a golf ball with a Bronco on it.) Thankfully he didn't decide to come home with holes in his teeth and he got right to work getting his Valentine's ready for his Kindergarten class-Transformers for the boys and Tinkerbell for the girls. Does anyone know any fun, easy projects or games we could do for the class party?
