Sarah did well at the dentist. Because of the location of the cavity, they could use this special tool to vibrate the area to clean it out instead of drilling - i.e., no novicane shot! Plus, they have a TV in the room so she could watch CBC.
It is very hard dealing with Sarah sometimes because she is both a very sensitive kid and one who is very uncertain. If she isn't sure the outcome of something, she worries until it's over. She also falls into baby talk when she is scared. We have been working on her at home about the baby talk. We allow her to be sad, scared and uncertain, but we don't allow the baby talk. One of her friends and another kid in child care hurt her feelings this morning when they were calling her a baby. I tried to gently tell her that when she is feeling scared, she sometimes falls back on baby talk and that she needs to make sure she is using her normal voice and sentences to express herself.
It's tough being parents.
