We took both boys to visit the Dentist today. I don't know why Corbin is so scared of Dentists. It was really awful. I am glad I made Andrew come with me. He had to get X-rays because he had some cavities. He did not want to cooperate. He was screaming and kicking and thrashing everyone who got near him. Andrew and I both tried to hold him to no avail. We finally had to put him on a board where they strapped him down completely. He was even less thrilled about that. He bit his lips a few times and was also bleeding.
We managed to get a few bad X-rays, but we will have to come back to try to take them again and to get his cavity filled. They said they are going to sedate him for that. Thank goodness. This was terrible. Andrew was laughing the whole time. I didn't really find any of this experience very amusing. After the X-Rays they still had to clean his teeth and put fluoride on them. He was not supposed to drink any thing for 30 minutes or eat for two hours. GREAT! Since our appointment was at 11:00AM and we didn't get called in until noon. We left at 1:00pm. Neither of the kids had eaten lunch and I had promised them we were going to get lunch and ice-cream after the dentist. Luckily they were both so worn out they fell asleep on the way home crying for ice-cream. Anyway, just had to vent that story.

Oh no! I'm sorry it was such a crazy day! It will be a good story to tell his future wife though! :)
I know I shouldn't laugh... but I can't help it! I'm sorry you had such a bad time at the dentist. It's got me a bit worried for Hyrum's first appointment, which considering this story I may postpone longer than I had originally planned! Good luck on round two!
