Degrees of helpfulness

When I picked Lauren up from school on Tuesday I stood Sam in the hallway and went into the classroom to collect Lauren. When I came out of the room Sam was standing holding Lauren’s lunch box. He had found it among all the others and picked it up to help – he looked so cute.

Yesterday was Lauren’s trip to the dentist. All the way there I was thinking of ways get her to let the dentist to look at her teeth. But she just refused any idea I put forward. When we got there we sat and waited 20 minutes in the waiting room, then we sat for 10 minutes in the dentist chair with her face buried in me. The dentist never got to see her teeth. She did still get a sticker, which she was sticking over her mouth as we left.
