No school

Nathan didn't have school on Friday, so I took the day off and headed to Sioux Falls. He had to visit the dentist for another filling. He took the valium this time without much problem. It is horrible to watch him in that state. He looked totally off his rocker. I told him that the dentist wanted him to take it to make him relax. He kept telling me how relaxed he was. While I was happy to hear that, seeing him look as if he'd just conquered his first 6 pack wasn't much fun.

Everything went ok at the dentist. He has such a sensitive gag reflex - like none I've ever seen. The dentist gagged him so hard that he threw up. He did ok though. I would have fallen apart at that point, but he didn't. He got one filling and needs another. They couldn't get him to take x-rays so the dentist didn't know how far she needed to drill. She said she thought she'd be able to do it better at his cleaning in April. I had only one thing to say - Good luck! He doesn't take valium for his appointment and if she thought his gag reflex was bad on Friday - just wait until April. We'll see I guess.

I told Nathan that I'd give him a surprise if he did well at the dentist. He did great so we headed off to Chuck E. Cheese. As we pulled into the parking lot he said "I wish Dawson was with us". I'd actually considered bringing him, but Dawson hasn't ever been to the dentist and if Nathan was going to freak out then I didn't want Dawson to then think the dentist was horrible.

We played for almost 3 hours. Check out this picture we had taken.

Are you kidding me? I about peed myself when I saw it. I asked Natey what he was doing and he said "Well I was trying to smile where you told me to look!!!" Oh, well you missed the mark. :) HA! It kept me going all day. That's some funny stuff right there!

Anyway, we both had a great day. Today the kids don't have school either, so Natey's going to Dawson's for the afternoon. He's only been asking since Saturday.
