Dentist

Wm had some "pitting" in one of his 6 year molars, so the dentist wanted to drill it out and fill it. Wm went in today to get it taken care of. He had to get a shot of Novocain - which none of us were expecting!! But, Wm was AMAZING. He got a shot in his mouth and was like, "that was nothing." In fact, here he is immediately following the shot:

Super Tough

The dentist couldn't believe how brave Wm was! He told Wm that much older kids cry or have a hard time and Wm was GREAT! I asked him later if it hurt at all and he goes, "Mr. Wiggles hurt." I was like, "Uhhhh...who is Mr. Wiggles?" Apparently the dentist told Wm that his drill was named "Mr. Wiggles" and the water pick was "Mr. Whistle." Wm was not a fan of Mr. Wiggles at all. But he sat there like a champ and you would never have know it hurt him at all!! They had to put a giant rubber sheet thing in his mouth that they told him was a "tooth raincoat" - Wm was like, "that was SUPER uncomfortable." However, again, sat there like a champ and no one would have known he wasn't just chilling. Honestly, I think Wm is WAY braver than I am. He handled the dentist a LOT better than I do now...let alone at 8 years old! Wm is an odd duck. Going to the pool is terrifying, but getting shots and being drilled on is no big deal.
