Took 6 months of work to get it in the mouth, but now he's a pro at them! We found this lovely dentist who works especially with kids terrified of the dentist - he lets them move the chair up and down, there's video games everywhere, etc. He's GREAT! We're going every few months to try and build up to a real visit. I like this guy because his first suggestion isn't "sedate." It's his last resort. Phew. Anyhoo....I digress....now if I could only make my own dentist visits more pleasant! ;-) Hint on dentist situation: the hygienist recommended that Little Miss have one of those battery-powered toothbrushes that act like a hygienist’s instrument to make her less likely to freak out at the dentist because of the noise and feel of the instrument. :)

I thought it was only in my crazy world that that happened. Don't parents have anything better to do!? I know if I'm not one of the first handful of cars Rachel starts fretting that I forgot her. I have NEVER forgotten her and she has never been forgotten but that her just one of her crazy quirks. <em>You know, I always wonder about the OTHER parents who are there as early as I am. Why are they? Perhaps there ARE more people like us in the world! LOL! It's funny that you do that too. I live like a minute from the school and have to get there 20 minutes early.
