trauma drama

well, we did it! terrible, terrible, terrible!
On the way to the dentist (i ended up being the one to take her) i started talking to her about how there are 2 reasons to go to the dentist...cleaning and work. she would be getting work. as i am explaining that it will feel like a shot then she won't feel anything tears starting streaming down her face. We stopped at walgreens and she got to choose whatever candy she wanted. i was not thinking at the time that she would not be able to eat it after...oops. so, we were getting out of the car at the dentist and she asked for prayer. what do you pray!?!? you know it's gonna hurt! they called us in the room and i laid in the chair with her in my lap and the dentist explained what she was going to do.
they did the numbing cream then the shot. wow, she can scream! we waited about 5 minutes and go some more shots and she screamed again. then the dentist starting wiggling them and she was screaming that she could feel it, so more shots. the dentist grabbed the pliers and just pulled them right out. there was more screaming then we left!
this morning she did say that it did not hurt after the first 'pinch' but she thought it was going to so she screamed....you know just in case ;)
so, andre felt great compassion and gave her 5 dollars!
\today, she is very excited to be sooo big and not have her front two teeth!
