Anxiety-Provoking Appointments

Today Kevin and I took the kids to the UW/Children's Hospital Pediatric Cental Clinic.  They were nervous, particularly Sar, who has what amounts to a phobia of going to the dentist.  I gave Penny the Serenity dough (lavender) and Sar the Good Cheer dough (orange - it's his favorite). Penny ditched the dough pretty quickly, but Elessar held onto his for the entire two hours.  Success. We got through the appointments with some minor trembling, but no tears or cussing.  I think that may be first.
