A Week of Appointments

I've pretty much had every appointment you could imagine this week:  dental cleanings, Sage's endocrinology and pediatrician well check ups, which I had to reschedule because I'd booked them on the same day as one of the other appointments.  Too much going on this week and none of it has been fun, particularly with Jaggar.  Jaggar HATES to be messed with in any way, shape or form.  To say he was horrendous at the dentist would be an understatement.  To his credit, he did have 4 cavities filled at the last appointment, so I prayed that God would have mercy on them and my checkbook.  As soon as I signed them in, I looked up and Sage was running back out of the lobby after Jaggar, who was crying already and apparently leaving.  He was just going to go wait in the car, I guess.  He cried for the entire hour that we waited in the waiting room.  When we went back, Sage went first.  They were so nice in trying to make Jaggar feel comfortable.  They even let him push the button for Sage's xray.  He didn't care.  I looked up and he was leaving and going back to the waiting room and then to the car, I guess.  Everyone was laughing in the waiting room as he managed to get back out there MULTIPLE times.  Thank GOD, neither child had any problems.  However, Sage has some deep grooves on her back molars and needed some sealants, so we ate lunch and came back.  I had to tell Jaggar MULTIPLE times that he was done, and he kept saying, "Do I have to come back?"  I said, "Not until Christmas."  He'd say, "NO!  I'm not coming back."  We had this convo over and over while Sage was getting her work done  in the back(she is the polar opposite of Jaggar and any doctor's dream patient).  I finally said, "If you don't come back, your teeth will fall out."  That should do it, I thought, but he immediately said, "Okay!  I don't want them anyways."  Awesome.  I'm going to start having him sedated before appointments, I think.  Unfortunately, my dentist appointment today didn't go nearly as smoothly. All I can figure is that pregnancy and nursing has wreaked havoc, and I've got a price to pay in the next few weeks...literally.  SO...it has not been my most fun week, that is for sure. 

The kids' dentist is a pediatric office.  I switched them both to her after Jaggar needed his work done.  It's a great office, and Jaggar almost looks happy as he laid on this bear in the corner, right?  Looks can be deceiving.  They almost did his exam down there because he refused to get up.

 Yep, this is a little more like it.
