But much of the credit goes to the dentist himself, and the tools he had available. Firstly, the way he worked with Madison was simply astounding: she was so trusting and relaxed. Of course, a little of that might have to do with the laughing gas.
I could call it nitrous oxide, but "laughing gas" is just a great term, isn't it? In fact, she did laugh a few times in the dentist's office. It smelled like strawberries, and Madison enjoyed smelling it a lot. Afterwards, she wasn't dizzy or high or anything - she just got up and ran off: it was all just a routine visit to the dentist. She got her shiny new princess teeth and was glad to endure just a little weirdness to get them. Also, there was the treasure chest nearby: what joy to be able to pick anything from the chest and keep it too!
Madison did so very well today. She did far better than Daddy would have done!
MADISON'S BOOK CLUB
The eccentric cast of characters you see above come together in another fun Jan Brett book, "The Umbrella." We read this one again tonight before bed. Madison has been enjoying this one because of the variety of animals that appear - these are certainly more unusual than anything seen around here! The main character in the book wants to see them as well, so he sets out into the rain forest to find these creatures. Sadly, he doesn't see any - so he drops his umbrella and begins to climb a tree in order to get a better look. And that's where the fun begins!
This is a neat book for educational purposes, of course. But it's also hard to ignore the wonderful artwork. This is one of our favorite children's authors, because each page is an amazing treasure to look at.
As stated earlier, we read this book together tonight before bedtime, just after prayers. Believe me: one things we were doing at prayer time was thanking God for the speed and ease of Madison's dental procedure. Medication and skill have come a long ways in dentistry: we're so very grateful!
