We’ve survived the dentist once again. All three of the boys are cavity-free and in good shape. Elliott was so nervous that I thought he was going to bite the dentist’s fingers off, but he also did really well. In other news that’s positive, there’s a chance that Gavin won’t need his wisdom teeth out. …

Taking my 3 #Autistic kids to the dentist

The week of craziness begins today with another trip back to the dentist
