I Wear My Sunglasses.....

At the dentist!

Caleb had a cyst thing on the inside of his mouth that would not go away.  It was there for about 5 months. He would tell me about it at bedtime or when I was making dinner and couldn't do anything about it.  On Wednesday this week I finally remembered during normal business hours to call the dentist.  They told us to come in around 9 that morning.  I picked up Cayden from tutoring, took him to school and then picked up Caleb from school and went right to the dentist.  I thought they were just going to look at it and then reschedule a time for us to come have it removed or maybe even send us to an oral surgeon.  Nope, by the time I got the baby out of the car, Caleb was already in the chair and they were all ready to just cut it out!  He was not very thrilled about that especially because he told me he just wanted them to look at it and I told him that was all that they would probably do.  He wore his glasses because of the bright light that dentist has.  After a quick numbing shot and a quicker snip we were out of there and Caleb went back to school.  We were seriously in there for 12 minutes from the time we turned off the car to the time we got back in.  Caleb was a little worried because he had to do his monologue in Theater that morning but he really wasn't all that numb.  His biggest problem was the burrito covered in salsa that he tried to eat after school!

On another sunglasses related note-Caleb got disqualified at his second to last track meet for wearing his glasses while competing.  He learned about the DQ the NEXT day when his coach told him about it.  He said that was the rule at all the meets but he didn't know that until AFTER that second to last one.  Um, so maybe that would have been nice to know earlier in the season.  His coach told him that if did track again he would need a note from the doctor for them to let his wear his glasses while competing.
