The Dentist...nightmare

So my kids where due for a dentist visit.  I found a great pediatric dentist that my brother's kids went to.  It's really cute and all done up like NEMO.  Things started out ok, except we where running late.  I had paperwork to fill out and so I was rushing to fell that out so kids could start being worked on.  They told me when I made the appointment that they have 4 chairs so we could do all the kids at once.  That was my first mistake.  Michael was beyond grumpy, giving me attitude, all because something about no halo or something I can't remember.  So he was mad.  Drew was disappointed that we weren't going "dad's work" to see the dentist.  So he did not want anyone looking in his mouth.  And normally he is so good.  Taylor was really good, Savannah and Michael kept arguing.  So once I finished with the dentist we started to walk out and Taylor kicked Michael.  Drew was dragging his feet.  I was so done by the time I  got in the car.  I will make 4 trips to the dentist next time instead of 1.  

Drew having fun as you can see.  Turns out Drew has the most expensive mouth.  He had to go back a week later to get 3 cavities and an impression for a othrodontic device to fix his crossbite.   He did not want to even go into the office.  I had to bribe him with a dinosaur shirt that had a remote control  dinosaur with it.   That got him in the office but it took a lot longer to get the laughing gas on him.  The dentist is great, he is really patient and nice.  Eventually we got the gas on he watched his star wars movie and actually feel asleep.  He did pretty good.  The bad news is we get to go again, and hopefully he is more cooperative.
