First trip to the dentist
Markus had his first trip to the dentist on Friday. Background- Markus HATES medical offices. Even going with mommy to her appts doesn't work anymore. Needless to say, the dentist was no exception. The minute we sat in the chair together, he started to lose it. When I laid him across my lap and the dentist started doing her thing, it was a complete lost cause. In the midst of his screaming and wailing, he was calling out for daddy. Of course he was- he typically calls out for mommy when in distress, but mommy was the evil one holding him down with every ounce of strength she had so she was of no use to him. He alternated his daddy cries with cries of all done, all done. He did repeat the all done cries the moment we entered the exam room at the peds office as well today (see previous post). This will get better someday, right? Here's some pics of the nightmarish experience.

Markus, I don't blame you. People dressed in funny blue suits and masks and wielding terrifying weapons of mouth-torture have always freaked me out too! Seriously though, because of Nate, I've learned more than I ever did with the first two kids to look at every situation through a kid's eyes. No wonder they get scared a lot! It does get better, but sometimes it takes a LOT of patience and compassion on the part of the parental units. Hang in there.
