Adam had a checkup and a teeth cleaning with a new dentist today. He sure is a little chatterbox. He told jokes on his way from the lobby to the chair. They took his x-rays and had to ask him to be quiet so they could take his pictures. Then they leaned him back in the dentist chair. Looking up, he spied Looney Tunes being played on the TV in the ceiling. With a huge sigh of contentment, he put his hands behind his head and said, "Ahhh. This is the life."
What could be better than a TV in the ceiling at your doctor's office?
"How 'bout one in your bedroom," the dental assistant NOT so wisely suggested to my son. Yeah, sure, thanks. And then we can get him a pony, and move into Disney World. Thanks a lot for that suggestion, lady.
"Yeah," said Adam, "And then I would never have to get out of bed!"
Hahahaha. Fat chance.
And in other news...
After the dentist, we went over to our local elementary school and got Adam all signed up to go back to public school. He has been so looking forward to going back to school. He's aching to make new friends, have new adventures, and have some time away from Thomas the Tank.
Here in Utah, we have year-round school. This means that at any given time, three "tracks" of students are in school, and one "track" is off. The first three tracks started two and a half weeks ago, so we assumed that Adam would join the fourth track. Nope. "We've put you on C track," said the school secretary, "and they're going off track next week. So, Adam will start school the day after Labor Day."
He cried.
Adam, I hope you always love school the way you do today. But much like your hope for getting a TV installed in your ceiling, my hope for you continuing to have this level of passion for school is not likely to be realized. But a boy can dream, and so can a mom.
And hopefully, one day, we can have that vacation too. But not at the dentist's office.
