OOOUCH!


On Monday I had to take Jakob to the dentist for a check-up and cleaning, plus a couple weeks ago we notcied that his bottom big boy teeth were growing in behind his baby teeth, but yet the baby teeth weren't loose. I knew what the dentist was going to want to do, but kind hoped that he wouldn't have to, but he did--he pulled both of his bottom baby teeth out so the big ones could grow properly. Jakob has never had a cavity or any other major dental work done, so I was afraid he was going to freak out, but he was so brave and didn't even shed a tear! I couldn't believe it! (Thank goodness he didn't inherit the fear of the dentist from his mom, because I would have been balling my head off if that were me!) The dentist put his teeth is a bag and told him to leave it under his pillow, so the first thing he did when we got home was ran straight to his room. This morning he woke up to a 5 dollar bill under his pillow! I think the toothfairy must have seen how brave he was at the dentist! You are a trooper Jakob, we love ya!

Good job Jakob, and happy birthday! We'll have to meet you at the rec center this summer to swim!

Jakob, you will have to give me some "How to Be Brave at the Dentist" tips. I hate the dentist, but I really need to go soon. Now you can sing "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!" Although you will probably get an early Christmas present!

Wow, he was super brave. Who is your dentist? I think a good dentist is so important over coming that fear. Sounds like you have a good one.

What a trooper! I'm glad the tooth fairy recognized how brave Jakob was! So great to hear from you, Jessica. I'm glad you saw my blog. I obviously have much to learn before mine has as many cool features as yours, but I'm doing well at this point to even post anything. Keep in touch.

Love, Melinda Stone
