Dentist and Dancefest!

Early this morning, Rachel had a dentist appointment. 8:20 all the way in Cary! Ugh! The lady I talked to when I made the appointment had to pull some strings just to get us in. It was either that, or wait until end of July! She said that if we waited that long, she couldn't guarantee us a spot in the hospital this year. So, Rachel was so disappointed to learn that she'd miss "Dancefest" at school because of the appointment. That started at 9:30, so we worked something out where Brandon came with us, and when they were done needing Rachel physically there, I took her back to school and left Brandon there to talk with the dentist. That enabled us to get her to school on time.

So, then she did her two little dances with her class. Some Cha-Cha Slide thing and a Pink Panther dance. They were up first. During her second dance, she tripped and fell. I felt so bad for her. She ran over to her teacher and they put a band aid on it. Had band aids sitting right there as if they expected someone to need one! After she performed, I was out of there! I was not waiting around for the 1st through 5th grades to do theirs. Plus, Alyssa was getting hungry and fussy, and I didn't want to have to fight trying to get out of there when ALL the other parents were trying to get out. Of course, I forgot the camera again! Later, we were in the car that evening, had the radio on and Flo Rida's "Low" song came on, and I went to change it, and Rachel made some comment about how the 4th and 5th graders did a dance to that song. . .I'm thinking. . .Nice. *inset sarcasm* That was Brandon's comment too. NOT appropriate for Elementary school if they really did dance to that! I left early, so not sure. . .just going by what Rachel said.

Brandon came home in the evening and discussed the plan to fix Rachel's teeth. Looks like we'll be getting some teeth done this year, and then some next when her 6 year old molars have come in. He showed the quotes to some co workers when he got in after his talk with the Dr. and he said there was a lot of jaw dropping. Yeah, it's a lot of money, unfortunately! But, our child can't live a life with no enamel on her teeth either. . . . I told Brandon that if Alyssa's teeth have Rachel's problem (Michaela has enamel), then definitely NO more kids! ha! Still don't know since Alyssa still is a gummy grin girl!
