Best day ever?

Yesterday Ben got his tooth pulled. We went in for cleanings and have known for a long time that an abscess was starting under his green tooth. He killed that tooth a few weeks before Bekah was born so we didn't know if it had been there since then, or if it was new. We decided to leave it and watch it. So we had been watching it for a year and a half. Then we went in an it had obviously gotten worse. So out the tooth goes. I explained what they were going to do to him and he was great. Just laid there had his tooth pulled, waited for the gas to wear off and out the door we went.

So as any mom would do I tried to make his day a bit easier for a bit. I let him have ice cream for lunch. It was 2 when we got out of the dentist office and they were all starving. Well what are we going to feed Ben? He needs something cold, nothing he has to chew (so that he doesn't bit his tongue or lip). I thought ice cream was a great idea!! Plus for those of you that have seen this boy you know how skinny he is so I do secretly try to plump him up a bit. (It doesn't work)

We went to chick-fil-a for dinner yes he got an ice cream after he finished his food. Then did some much needed shopping. At publix the bagger gave my kids balloons. After that was done we headed over to see Brian and Ella at BB gun practice. While driving to see what happens at practice Ben says "This was the best day ever!" in his most excited voice.

So I guess when you want to do something special for your kids you just need to pull a tooth and give them lots of ice cream and a balloon!
