{moments like these}

It is days like today when being a parent feels more like a job and not a fun one. Paige had a couple of cavities that needed filled. This was her second trip in because they wanted to do them in 2 visits - bottom first then top. Things went AWESOME on her first visit. Things went SOUTH on her second visit. We started out good, calm and relaxed and then it spiraled out of control. She got mad because her mouth was numb and there was no settling her down. Dr. R (which is wonderful!) asked me if I wanted him to continue because she was going to scream the entire time - not a hurt scream but an angry one! I said, go ahead, the screaming won't bother me because she will not come back to do this again! I listened to her scream and cry from the lobby. And I am just glad there weren't a lot of young children present! :) As this cutie pie's mom, I knew she would be fine and would be her normal self very soon after she was done. And she was - ready to go home, get some food and watch Toy Story with dad.

And yes, we take the Ipad everywhere!! :)
