Dennis Did Great!

Bless his little heart. Dennis did a great job at the dentist. I can't say enough good things about our pediatric dentist who was so gentle and caring and sweet with my little boy. Naturally, he was scared when he realized that I meant what I said about him going back to the dentist. But, the dentist talked to him the whole time and I joined right in, and it kept him focused on everything but the gas mask and shots. I laid right next to Dennis and rubbed and kissed his sweet little hands until I saw her get the pliers. At that point, I buried my face in Dennis' side and looked up after saying a quick prayer. It appeared that the dentist was getting a different tool when she said, "All done." I couldn't believe it. It was over. There was no yanking like I envisioned... and he didn't even cry.

He came home, called his Daddy, ate some yogurt with me, and went to sleep.

This little boy is so amazingly strong. Thank you for your prayers.
