Seriously....

On Tuesday I took the older boys to the dentist for their check-up. This was Tate's first time and he did great! I was shocked because its a fight almost every time we have to brush his teeth. Anyway, their were no cavities this trip, but Cole is getting a retainer to widen his bite. When Tate heard that Cole was getting a retainer all chaos broke out! Tate went into a total tantrum, crying, yelling at me, throwing himself on the floor!! Seriously... I could barley control myself and him for that matter. The staff thought it was so cute that he wanted one so bad, and the Dentist even heard the commotion and came to see if he could offer his assistance by giving Tate a prize instead of a retainer(Not that he deserved it by any strech of the imagination). It calmed the tantrum slightly, but the crying continued. All he wanted was a retainer and all I wanted was to get out of there (Then I could yell and beat me child without the whole staff watching.....maybe not beat, but I was so embarrassed I didn't even know what to do to him!) Tate is still alive and the bruises are minimal:), and he will not be going to the dentist with us to pick up the retainer!!! Lets just hope that when it comes time to get braces he will still be that excited to get them!
