Because of the tantrums last night, or night terrors, or whatever you want to call them, I was waaay too exhausted to get up on time this morning to get the kids off to school, and I knew that Kat wouldn't be able to wake up at 6:20am. It wasn't happening.
So after Johnnie took over with Kat last night and brought her in to sleep with him in our bed, I went and slept in Aiden's bed, thinking that I'd get to sleep some since it was my morning to get the kids to school. Nope. Guess who woke up all night with nightmares? Yep. Aiden. He must have been dreaming that an evil gummy was chasing him because he kept sitting up and crying about the gummy and telling me to get it. o.O Yay...
This morning didn't happen at 6:20am. It was more like 7:50am. I got up and then it took awhile to get everyone else to get up. Once we were all ready, it was 8:25am. I had to be at the kid's dentist for Mary and Aiden's cleaning at 9. So Kat and Clara were forced to come with us. Which turned out to be a good thing.
Aiden wore his Super Aiden cape and they loved him! He got up in the chair, a little apprehensive at first, but once they put Barney on the tv above the chair and started calling him "Super Aiden" and telling him that the tools were a "super toothbrush" and "super toothpaste", he was on board!! LOL
He laid back with his sunglasses on (they give them to the kids to help them see the tv and not get the light in their eyes), and let them do their job. He actually kind of enjoyed it, I think. He was sad when it was over.
Mary did great too, even though she was a little upset at first that we would not be returning to her previous dentist. (They were very unprofessional, rude and hard to deal with), but she liked them because they didn't hurt her and told her she needed braces, which she wanted. LOL
But she liked the new dentist too, even though she says that Mary's teeth are perfect and she does not need braces.
When both of them were done, I had Kathryn come in to be looked at. At her first appointment with them, they tried to do dental x-rays and she freaked out on them. Same for the second visit and nothing new this visit either. So they took her in and sat her in the chair, where she began to have a small fit because she was scared. She calmed down and started watching tv, but she just can not sit still. I recorded her to show y'all what she does, lol. She's just a ball of energy, always. Something always has to be moving, some way, somehow. She wouldn't keep her boot on on one of her feet either, so she is half bare-footed.

So when the dentist came in, Kathryn wouldn't let her look at her mouth at first. Then when she finally opened her mouth, a very small amount, she complained that the mirror hurt her. :/
She finally calmed down and allowed her to look. She said everything looks fine other than the two cavities that we already know about and have a treatment plan for. On my way out, with Kathryn jumping all over the hallway, the nurse came out and asked me to set up and appointment for a sedation filling. They want to put her to sleep to do the dental work she needs because she is so combative. So I signed all of the correct papers and set up her new appointment time.
The dentist office is amazing. They are so patient and understanding. They do balloon animals for the kids, give them rewards and the fact that they placed the tvs in the ceiling for the kids to watch while they are laying in the chair, is awesome! I love this place. I asked them to be my dentist, but they politely declined, saying that I was too old for them. LOL
Now we are home and the kids sound like zoo animals out there in the living room. (I snuck away to talk to DeVry, cause I'm going back to school!!!! :) I'm going for Medical Coding and Billing. I figured, I was really good at the Coding and Billing portion of my courses while I was in school to be a Medical Assistant, I love paperwork and I'm having to deal with the medical world so much now, that I might as well utilize my talents and knowledge, right? ;)
I can't wait to start. May 2, 2016 is the first day of the rest of our life. ;) <3
