This morning we woke up early to head over to the dentist to get your crown put in. I have been a nervous wreck all week thinking about your little dental procedure, mostly because it involved Novocain. I've had enough Novocain in my mouth to know that the little "pinch" hurts and I felt so bad that you had to get it. I was being really strong and positive until the dentist said, "so we're going to use some local anesthesia today..." and then the water works came out! I started sobbing so the dentist took me out of the room to calm me down but I got it together, hung out with you while you got the numbing gel and then I moved to the parents room next door with the one-way mirror so I could see you.
You only cried out a little bit when the needle was put in but otherwise you were such a trooper! You did a great job and the dentist finished the procedure incredibly fast. You now have your crown but the anesthesia hasn't completely worn off yet so you keep touching your cheek and chin since they're numb. I hope this is your last filling for a long time, Mister O.
In the yellow submarine room...
See that mirror in the top left hand corner of the room? I could see you from the other side!
Your scary face
Ready to go
All numbed up
