Sorry If You Missed the Concert. It Was Excellent.

A visit to the dentist is never that exciting or even pleasant, although I have been lucky and not had any terribly unpleasant experiences in the chair. Taking my children to the dentist is much like taking them to the doctor. The waiting is the excruciating part.

K had his appointment last week. We arrived right on time and he was called for his appointment within a few minutes. It was wonderful.

M had her appointment on Monday after school. I had K and D with me as well. K had just spent all afternoon at preschool which always tires him out anyway. He gets extra goofy and wild and has a hard time controlling himself when he's tired. So the Monday afternoon appointment was less-than ideal to say the least.

We arrived for M's appointment a little in advance. They called her back for x-rays then she returned to the waiting area to wait for her cleaning. K was bouncing off the walls almost immediately. He controls himself at school and follows the rules so I think when he gets back with me he feels like he can let loose of that control. Lucky me.

After a few minutes I noticed an older boy listening to his iPod. K, do you want to listen to music? Perhaps this would keep him at least sitting still. I had hope.

I got him set up with K's Playlist and helped him put the earbuds in his ears. Within moments he was singing, somewhat loudly.

I tried to shush him but honestly, I thought it was cute. Even the sort of grumpy old man waiting said that he was enjoying the "radio"...well at least at first. I'm thinking after a few minutes he tired of the cuteness, but I did not. K sang along with Little Wonders, Hot Girls, Beautiful Boy and Down at the Sunset Grill.

He sang loud and unabashedly. Pure innocence and love for life and music. This boy of mine has a heart of gold.
