(For the record, 6 months ago both children had an uneventful, pleasant dental experience.)
Eva told the dentist her life story, in between her cleaning. The poor dentist could hardly get an instrument in between chatter.
Meanwhile, Dylan sat silent, with his hands clenched over his mouth for about 20minutes, staring at Eva and the dentist. He was also grasping the two peluches he brought with him in a death grip.
When it was his turn, he freaked. But our dentist is fantastic....which is probably why she is so expensive....Not only did she get Dylan to give her the peluches, but to open his mouth so she could check his teeth.
He was so proud afterward. "Mommy, I be good boy?"
Next up we all had a playdate at Skyzone. Dyleva had really missed their friends from playschool, and it was so nice to meet up with them.
Dylan was so happy and relieved, he was dancing and shaking it and falling all over the trampoline.
Eva spent more time in the pit. She was obsessed with helping all her friends out of it. We topped off all the jumping with a little Mexican food to make mommy and daddy happy and called it a night.
You certainly got your money's worth on that dental appointment! I hope Dylan was convinced that nothing would happen after observing his sister. It's great that he had the chance to watch Dyleva first, so that he would know what's coming, which hopefully made him feel somewhat at ease. This should make his next visit a lot better. Thanks for sharing!

Dylan and Eva sounded really proud of their accomplishments on their dental check-ups! And, they should be, because both of them did such a great job behaving. It seems like the playdate at Skyzone was well-deserved. Thanks for sharing their trip to the dentist. All the best to you! :)
