DS just had his teeth cleaned. It's a major production everytime. I'm waiting for the day when they tell us we can't come back there anymore. The dental hygenist is a very good lady. DS was having a meltdown in the chair. She accidentally scraped his gums, because he was swerving.

He tried to take swings at her and me. I held him down like I always end up doing at the dentist. I looked at him writhing in the chair and wondered if life would be like this at age 15 (he's turning 8 this month). I was thinking to myself that I won't be strong enough to hold him back.

There were no cavaties and I thanked God for that. That means we won't have to go back there for another 6 months. Knock on wood.
