note to self: leave 5-yr-old at home

Took my oldest to see his orthodontist last week.

Figured my 5-year-old would want to tag along, since he's quite fond of Dr. Sadler's way-cool game room. We're clearly about two visits away from Hayden asking if we can host his next birthday party there.

It's that cool.

Griffin was his usual quiet and polite self, while Hayden chatted up the hygienists and showed off his wit, dropping one-liners and Elvis impersonations, as in 'Thank you. Thank you very muuuuch.'

Minus the scarf and swivel hips.

So, when it was time to leave, somebody mentioned jokingly to the boys that it was time to go, and Mom just might have 'a big date.' Hayden didn't miss a beat, saying...

'She doesn't want a date. Mom wants a GIRLFRIEND'.

We exited faster than the Kenyans cross the finish line at the Mini-Marathon, and my little comedian laughed all the way to the car.

Hardee har har.
