Today was, HOPEFULLY, the last time I’ll have to wait in a dental office waiting room for Owen…for MANY years…well at least until he has his adult teeth…hopefully! We finished the Root Canal…and again today he did AMAZING!!!
Owen now knows the drill when we get to the dentist…its so awesome that he has ZERO fear of being there. I love it. I remember vividly being a kid…going to the dentist in Long Beach, California and being TERRIFIED. Mom would trick us…not tell us we were going until we turned onto the street. (How horrible huh?!?) I have such a crazy fear and hatred since such a small age. I remember them making me drink “juice” (had relaxers in it) but I hated it. Thank GOD Owen has no fear…I think he actually likes it! haha Today as we were getting out of the car when we pulled up, he told me that he didn’t need his drink because the dentist will squirt water in his mouth! haha
Again…I sat and waited in the waiting room for him. I swear I feel like my heart was going to POUND out of my chest the WHOLE time he’s back there and while I’m sitting so quietly trying to hear him from the waiting room. This visit I asked if I could get him on video a bit…for Daddy. The really nice hygienist said she’d get some silly video of Owen on nitrous for me. (Unfortunately I don’t know how to post video to my blog…anyone can help me here??) It’s a crack up when they are “intoxicated”.
“Look Mom…my new nose thingy”
Notice how all the hygienists watch him..he’s captured all their hearts. They are amazed that he’s only 3 and able to sit through all that. My brave little man…he does NOT get that from me!
Owen’s favorite part…the treasure chest of toys!
And here is the tooth….if you remember what it looked like the day after the fall (March 12th)…
It turned an ugly shade of gray and actually moved back forward (thank you pacifier) over time…and we were pretty sure that the root was dead. So we decided to have a mini pulpotomy (root canal) in hopes that we’d avoid it abscessing and getting infected in the future, which would lead to extraction.
Then after the temporary root canal a few weeks ago…
And….now today….
So thank GOD everything is done with that tooth. It looks absolutely amazing…and now we are back to the regularly scheduled check-ups every 6 months!
Also today we got to welcome a new addition to the group.
Owen’s best friend Addi became a big sister today!!! Yay.
Baby Connor Kristopher was born at 8:47am at 8lb 5oz and 21inches long
I didn’t get to see Addi with her new little brother yet, but I can’t wait for her to show him off to us when they get home from the hospital!! And I totally can’t wait for Owen to meet him too…it’s another new best friend…Congrats Taryn & Kris…he’s gorgeous!!!
We got some major Baby Fever goin’ on over here!!!!
