Kai at the Dentist

About a month ago, I took all four kids to the dentist. Three in the morning, at the same time. No, I wasn't thinking! Anyway, Kai would NOT let the dentist even take a peak so I suggested that I bring him back, later, with his older brother who has done the dentist before, to show him how it's done. They agreed, and we came back. After seeing Koen sit in the chair and allow them to x-ray, look, and clean his teeth, Kai was all for it! He got right up there, and let them do everything! It's a good thing too because he had a cavity. Koen did too, though. I know it sounds bad, but was I ever thankful that Koen had missed that spot brushing! So I scheduled them together the next time to do exactly what we did for the cleaning. I prepped Koen, by telling him that Kai was going to watch, and I really needed him to be a good boy for them so that Kai would get his tooth fixed. Koen has had a cavity filled before, so I knew he would be ok.
Monday came and it was time to go back in for the fillings. I really didn't think Kai would let them do it. It involves a "noodle" (needle) so I wasn't getting my hopes up. Luckily, I don't think Kai had a clue that that medicine they were going to shoot in  his mouth was a "noodle". Koen didn't cry, and they put this strawberry stuff on first, so it was okay. I was so proud of both boys, because Koen was a rockstar, and showed his brother that it would be okay, and Kai actually let them do his! Of course, they both got the laughing gas to chill them out. At one point the hygenist had to hold his legs down. He's going to be one that won't sit in his seat at school! I am going to get all kinds of phone calls from his poor teachers.
