Dentist

Logan's first official dentist appointment was last Tuesday. He did extremely well and aside from a few odd expressions at having his lips pulled this way and that and the flouride treatment, he was fine. I was VERY proud of him and just a little surprised that he didn't even seem nervous at all. I will admit it was a little odd being there by myself with him, doing something with him for the first time just him and I...something important I mean, but it was nice too. I mean, we HAVE done other things like the Zoo and the RailRoad...but I mean something serious like that. I'm also starting to try to mentally prepare for all of the rigors of sending him to school. I'm in a way happy that he hasn't grown much since last fall so a lot of his clothes which thankfully still look good will fit him. He will need new shoes...and of course a lunch box and backpack, so I'll mostly just be buying them, as well as a few items they send home in a letter that he will need. His first day will be August 28th which really is just a little over an hour where we both go in and learn about the school and his teacher and such, plus he gets to ride on a bus, or at least get on one! Then, the 29th is his first official day of school! He'll get the bus right outside of our house around 8:10 and be dropped off around 4:10, so that will be interesting to see how he is!!

I think I'll hold off on all of my thoughts about school and the such and see how he does...but needless to say I'm a little nervous, and not just because I'm more or less a single parent putting him in school, just the idea of how schools are these days and how early kids seem to do horribly stupid things. Bah...he'll be fine...maybe made fun of about his height when he gets older...but hopefully not just yet, haha.

That's all for now...no big plans until school so I doubt I'll have much to type about. Maybe I'll do an interview in a couple weeks just before school to see what his thoughts are on the subject. Until then...take it easy for all those who read this. :)
