A new adventure

Josh had 2 teeth pulled today. This was his first trip to the dentist. He was a little traumatized. The xrays went great he opened his mouth and was very proud of getting pictures of his teeth. Then we waited and waited. We were called back the dentist examined him and said that we should probably "help" his teeth out of his mouth because he already has permanent teeth coming up behind them. We then waited some more of course. Then back into another room where they put a mask over his nose. HE began to giggle, for it was laughing gas. I though oh this won't be so bad. OK so I was wrong, really wrong!!! The dentist numbed his teeth with gel and began to shoot his gums with a needle. He began to freak out of course. It took 3 of us to hold him down. He was crying for me. IT was all I could do not to grab him and run out and say forget it. I know it was in his best interest to pull the teeth out but it just broke my heart that he cried so. Well we are home now with a window in our mouth and waiting for the tooth fairy to arrive tonight.
