Allison had a cavity (actually two, with a few smaller "areas of interest.") They are all in baby teeth, but at the rate she's losing baby teeth, the dentist figured she'd have these until she was about 14. We're actually still waiting for the 6-yr molars to appear.
So, we decided to fill the cavities. This required a numbing, which required a needle, which required sedation. So, we picked up a tablet of valium at Walgreen's yesterday and gave it to her at 7am this morning.
Since her appointment was at 8am, I dropped Jacob off at Allison's friend Melanie's house (right by the dentist) so that he could ride to school with her. Apparently the joy of a day off of school vegging on the couch watching TV was not sufficient to balance the injustice of having your brother get to hang out with your friend for 10 minutes before school.
Allison was in the backseat just wailing about how much she misses Melanie and why can't SHE go to Melanie's before school.
"It's not FAIR MOM!"
"She's MY friend!"
"I want to see Melanie!"
"I would call her but I don't even know her PHONE NUMBER!! I only know MY phone number!! AHHHHHHHHH!"
She was still wailing when we arrived at the dentist's office, much to the chagrin of the other parents in the waiting area. Upset about the dentist.... nah. Upset that little brother gets to ride with friend to school while she spends the WHOLE DAY at home.

How's she feeling? She must take after her Uncle Robbie in the teeth department. He had really crummy baby teeth. Always getting cavities and they just seemed to crumble away. Thankfully, though, his permanent teeth have been excellent. Hopefully that will be the case for her too, whenever they come in.
She's fine. The numbness has worn off. She's been playing and watching TV and eating a lot.
