chez le dentiste

A day of happy minutiae. Picked up the Subaru this morning with Anastasia along for the ride, then coffee with Natalie, then Whit’s first dentist appointment. He was not such a fan of the dentist, repeatedly turning away from the lovely young hygienist with a polite-and-yet rude squeal of “NO THANK YOU!” Unlike his pleaser sister (and mother), the promise of a sticker and the dentist’s approval was not enough to force him back into the chair. This little rabble-rouser cares not at all about following the rules, about the world’s approval. Long years ahead, I can see it now.
Grace spent the morning at the Science Museum with Jake Elkins. I went for a run around Fresh Pond which was a lovely way to be out in the bright spring day. In the afternoon I made homemade chicken noodle soup, IMed with Lacy for a while, and then headed down by foot to meet Alison and Bouff at Christopher’s. Delightful wine & chicken fingers (and buffalo tofu for Bouff) and now home in couch in pj pants while children sleep. Am going to head to bed before too long with my book.
Sweet dreams all!
