Wow is all I can say.

My kids never cease to amaze me. It all started last week Monday. Elias had to get his 18 month old shot. Ok so I should start when Zandria was 18 months I took her to get her shot and she did not cry and only flinched on two of the three needles that she got that day. She watched the needles go in and everything. I thought this kid is crazy. Elias is not as tough as Zandria is, he cry more and more easily. So last Monday I expected it to be a screaming fit. So we sit I cuddle and hold him tight, I look away as I always have, the first needle nothing. The second....nothing not even a flinch. The third, the deeper of the three, a little flinch. WOW. I was absolutely shocked. Unlike Zandria, Elias got very cranky for the next 24 hours after.

When we go for shot we go to a drop-in clinic were there are 3or 4 health nurses, and a dental assistant that does fluoride coating for free. So I took both of the kids there. Zandria sat there like a perfect angel :) haha . While the dental person proceeded to tell me that there is something wrong with her enamel on her two year old molars, and that she had cavities on all four of them. YIKES. She informed me that I need to take her to her dentist asap. Elias we must have asked to much of him that day already, because to get that fluoride on was a fight.

So that brings us to today. Zandria had her first dental check up. We tried to prep her on what would happen and she just said, oh ok, oh oh yeah. I didn't think I was getting her to fully comprehend, so what I did was bribe her. I told her we would buy her a treat if you was really good. So we got there and she did everything perfect. She had no problems they even polished her teeth. I was flabbergasted. I did not expect her to be so ok with someone having so many tools in her mouth. As I sat there watching her I realized that she probably would have been great with out the bribe. Shot. I still got it for her. But now I am like well do I do it for the cavities that she needs done too? Is it fair of me not to do it again?? Only if I would have known. What other 3 year old would be so ok with it?

My kids amaze me.

WOW.
