Carson...

I am not sure if I posted about Carson and his dentist appointment a couple of weeks ago. He had a few cavities, so our dentist sent us to a children's dentist up in Rosemount. He did awesome. He sat in the chair perfectly still and let them do what they needed to do. He didn't even flinch when the gave him the shots of novocane! Anyway he had one tooth that was really bad and they had to put a cap on it. He thinks it is the coolest thing ever that he has a silver tooth.
This morning I called to schedule his next appointment to fill his other teeth, he said, "Can we go to the one that gives you silver teeth?" I told him that we were just going to go to the dentist in town this time. He says, "Awe, I want to get another silver tooth, they are cooler." Then I had to explain to him that no matter which dentist we went to he wasn't getting another silver tooth, AND that the silver teeth are very expensive. So, now he is bummed.
All of the kids are due for a cleaning, so next Monday they all have an appointment. Well, not Nessa exactly. We are just going to get her to sit in the chair and try it out, then we will schedule her appointment for another day...If she does well.

YESTERDAY

The school was giving out flu shots, so I took the kids. Austin and Carson did so well. Austin took his papers over to the nurse got his shot and then went back to Grandma's room. Carson wanted me to go over with him, so I did. He flinched when he got it, but was fine and went back to Grandma's room. THEN, I went and picked Belle up from basketball practice. I told her we needed to go to the cafeteria quick to get hers. The child started bawling, before we even got to the cafeteria. So, Then I am holding her other arm down while the nurse is giving the flu shot to her. She jumped in the air the second the needle touched her arm. SO, it took me, the school nurse and the nurse giving the shot to hold her down to give her this shot. She screamed as well as cried like we were trying to kill her. Then once it was over she stopped and was fine. I even got her to say that it wasn't that bad! I felt bad too because there was a line of people behind us with other little kids that she managed to freak out too. When we got home, she said, "How come it looks like I got two shots?" I told her because she freaked out and had to get poked twice.
Nessa has an appointment to get hers on Monday, we will see how that goes...
