Had a conference with ltc's teacher and principal this morning regarding the kid who has been bullying her this year and has escalated to grabbing her arm a couple of times. They were great and seem to be taking the situation very seriously.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Thrive to spite them
A dentist dog would be awesome.
I'm so ready to have my temp bridge put in. They called me back and rescheduled it to earlier than originally scheduled. and as soon as the bridge is replaced (I think mid March) I'm scheduling to have a filling removed and a crown put in on the otherside. It's been not fun trying to eat the last few days. And my gum was irritated from the broken bridge rubbing on it and I think it's still irritated because it feels sore when things touch it. So i've been doing some saltwater rinses.

That is good news, sj. Bullying is an issue that needs to be taken seriously.

sj - agreeing with Laura; what's fairly minor now, if not addressed and stopped, will continue and escalate.

Agreed. I was willing to let ltc and the teacher handle it when it was just words, but grabbing her arm and then shouting "I don't care" into her face when she told him she doesn't like that. Nope. I needed to let everyone know I'm paying attention and make sure they are too. Good news is my kid stands up for herself and for others when kids are being mean, and the teachers and principal thinks that is great.

From the very little I have seen ltc I can well imagine her standing her ground and defending others! It's really good that the teachers and principal are supportive. It is enormously frustrating when they shrug it off, which happens too often.

That's good to read!

Good to hear that, sj.
Alas, no dog at the dentist. I had dog visits a few times when I was in the hospital, and it was amazing. So spirit-lifting.

It sounds like I have to go back to the office by next month. I'm trying not to have a negative knee-jerk reaction to the news, because it should be encouraging.

Timelies all!
My next dentist visit is next week. Standard cleaning and checkup. Hopefully, no problems will come to light.
