The Cavity Filling

Yesterday Nicholas had his two cavities filled. It was his first time having this done and the morning went terrible. He was clinging to my leg, crying, screaming, begging, pleading, even bargaining. I dragged him there, literally kicking and screaming, into the front door and onto a chair. It took forever for them to call him back and then I had to carry him to the door. I peeled him off of me and handed him over the hygenist. She started talking about the video games he could play and told me it's going to be OK. Luckily, I brought a book which kept my mind off of the torture I was sure was going on back there. Finally, they called me back and Nicholas comes running up to me saying, with a huge wad of gauze hanging out of his mouth, that he was good and didn't even cry once. He is such a tough guy!
