dr.day

i took eli to the dentist the other day, knowing that he had many cavities. the grooves in his teeth are so deep that brushing is futile. the dentist said he will have to have his adult teeth "sealed" or they will most likely end up having to be filled. i had to hold him down so the dentist could get a glimpse at his teeth. it was awful. that being said, he has to get put under to get this work done. to get put under he had to get a physical to make sure he is healthy enough to get put under...ah...such fun.

so on the way to get the physical at dr. jambora's today, we finally told him where we were going...he hates the doctor. the crying started then, continued through the entire visit (along with pushing and kicking the doctor away), and only ceased at the end when dr. jambora gave him a sucker and the exam was over. and after talking about it with dr. j (which was a confirmation of my own feelings) we decided not to go with this dentist. now the procedure is postponed and we've made another appointment with a very highly recommended dentist, and get to do this all over again!

later this afternoon adam was playing his guitar and singing. eli asked him to "play the eli song" (adam sings songs and puts his name in there somewhere:). anyway, today he sang a song about how it was not nice to kick and hit dr. jambora and how eli is a nice boy. so next time he went to see the doctor he was not to hit and kick him. a bit later when we were making dinner eli was playing in the living room singing to himself...

"i'm gonna kick dr. jam-bor-a, i'm gonna kick dr. jam-bor-a."

i think he missed the point and i couldn't stop laughing...adam was scolding me to stop, but that only made it worse. sometimes you just gotta laugh and this was defiantly one of those times. it felt good to laugh after such a crazy day.
