Quick Prayer Request

For the past few days Bittyman has been complaining that his 'super silver tooth' (crown) has been hurting. So Daddy took him to the dentist this morning.

Daddy just called. The tooth needs to be pulled. Decay got underneath the crown so there's nothing left of the tooth to save. It will be done at 11am PST.

Bittyman already drank some 'happy juice' and is slowing down. 'Mr. Nose' will provide a dose of laughing gas before he receives the novocaine.

Daddy relayed that Bittyman is THRILLED that he gets to keep the 'super silver tooth' and was happily playing with the dentist's video games.

Perfect. Diva Mom went to the dentist yesterday and learned she needs 3, count 'em, 3 crowns.

Thank you, President Bush. With our tax rebate we will be doing our part to stimulate the DNP - Dental National Product.

UPDATE
Bitty is on his way home, holding his 'super silver tooth'. The dentist said Bitty was the best patient he's had all month. The kid is such a trooper. As I talked to Dan I could hear Bitty in the background, numb mouth and all, negotiating for how many Transformers TV shows he gets to watch today and what kind of ice cream he wants to pick up at Walgreens (along with the Motrin he's gonna need for the pain once the novocaine and laughing gas wears off).

So we'll be chillin' at home today, enjoying blue jello, chocolate pudding, mint chocolate-chip ice cream and Transformers... and Cars... and Star Wars...
