and now...kids' dental updates
I love my kids' dentist. I seriously do. He uses creative visualization to give them a sense of ownership of things like their injections and their medications. He doesn't like to treat it as something he's doing to them, but something he's helping them do for their teeth. <3 "What color bubble do you want around your tooth? Pink, purple, green, clear...? Are you breathing in that gas? That's your giggle gas, you're in charge of that."
Both kids had fillings today; the boy had two eeeety bitty ones and the girl had one that the dentist had actually missed last time. It wasn't a cavity, but a naturally-occurring pit in the side of a back molar that would be problematic later, so we filled it. Poor kids are so numb now, sucking down instant breakfasts and trying to gear up to go back to school.
Best quote of the day, from my boy, the master of random, on opening a kitchen drawer: "I am in a heaven of plastic spoons."
