"Josiah and Dr Taylor" Take: One

Well, Josiah's first trip ever to the Dentist's office (gross, right?) went off without a hitch! Josiah was SO brave and absolutely LOVED all the attention. He stood (if you can believe it) completely still for the new-fangled x-ray machine to rotate around his little head and "get his picture taken". He was so sweet! It was absolutely hilarious watching his little brain work at 90 miles an hour to try and figure out what the contraptions were that were going into his mouth. But, all in all, the trip was fantastic and our Dentist and his office staff were wonderful. I can't imagine a better place to take my kids. They made it so fun! Killer puzzles, too! Josiah wanted my help on one of the puzzles he was working on and while I was looking for its spot he said, "Mom, I just don't need your help. You're slow." And he took my piece away and immediately put it in its place. I'm a loser, apparently.... I finally know how my mother felt... Totally recommend the dentist though! If you live in Friendswood, it's the Friendswood Dental Group. They're amazing. And current, which is nice. Cool Kid starts Pre-school tomorrow. It's SOOOOOO bittersweet. A teacher he had during his summer camp was a Sunday School teacher yesterday and so it made him more excited about school tomorrow. But I was secretly hoping that he'd cry enough to where we could just start school next year... Can you believe he had the audacity to tell me that he didn't want me to walk him into the school? He said I was too old. I've NEVER been too old for anything. I don't even use night cream, yet; I told him. He didn't buy it and told me I wasn't allowed that that it was just the rules.....and he wagged his stubby, little finger at me. So I called him a punk and said it wasn't very fair for the moms that want to watch. ............And yesterday I got onto him for calling me a punk and saying that it wasn't fair for the little boys to not see the toys at Target. I couldn't figure out where he got off talking to me that way... :)
