As most everyone knows, Little L can be a real..... lets say, pain in the ass. He is stubborn, cranky, and opinionated. I say he gets it from his Daddy, I don't care what he says! I wasn't really looking forward to having to take him to his first cleaning, and was actually planning on Big L taking him instead. Last minute Big L was sent out of town, completely ruining my plan. That meant it was up to me..... Yay me!
After dropping X off at school, we headed up to his appointment. Once we checked in and were sitting in the waiting room I began to realize how screwed I was! Every 5 minutes or so a kid was brought back for his/her appointment...... and by being brought back, I mean they were dragged, kicking, screaming, fighting, and crying the whole way. Poor Little L who before all this was happily playing with the video games in the waiting room, came hauling ass over to me, and held onto my arm for dear life. I wasn't even going in for the cleaning, and I was scared! After about 45 minutes of this, they came to take Little L back for his cleaning. At first they wanted to take him back without me, but I convinced them that it probably wasn't a great idea, I also think that Little L's death grip on my hand, and the look of fear in his eyes probably helped to sway them as well.
Little L wasn't being very cooperative at first, but after about 5 minutes he relaxed and they were able to get his cleaning done. He did so well in fact, that other kids were being brought past the room so they could see an example of how they should act, and that the dentist wasn't as bad as they were thinking. So proud of him!!!
