I feel as though this month is just flying by. Today my youngest started SK.

My oldest (#1) had this advice for him: “Pay attention and listen to your teacher.” He felt the need to stress this for his brother several times on the way to school — it was unprompted, terribly cute and an unfortunately accurate prediction of his brother’s personality quirks. All said, he was a fair bit more helpful with his advice than I’d have been for my own little brother. Mine would have been more along the lines of “keep your head down and for land’s sakes don’t embarrass me!”

In other news, #2 had his BigScaryDental procedure yesterday. The molar was unable to be saved — I will have to take a picture of it to convey just how horrifying it was. I am not at all exaggerating when I state that 1/2 the above-gum portion of the tooth was completely non-existant. I cannot for the life of me understand how this couldn’t be causing him pain. The pulp was exposed. It smelled like rotten socks. It makes me feel an unholy compulsion to brush my teeth every 5 minutes! He also got “hats” for three of his teeth, making him the proud owner of three silver “pirate teeth”. He’s very proud of them and his older brother is rather envious.
