Before I forget...

I wanted to get this down.

Harrison has recently expressed interest in being a Zookeeper when he grows up. I tried to send him in the direction of a Zoology degree from a nice university, from which he gets a full scholarship and graduates with honors of course. I explained that with a degree like that he could take care of ALL of the animals, not just the elephants that he thinks would be so cool.

Anyway, he was telling Kevin about his future plans when he says, "Actually, I changed my mind. I want to be BACK-UP when I grow up." Kevin and I exchange looks thinking that he's referring to the back-up singers on Guitar Hero and that he's thinking a musical route. So we ask him if that's what he's talking about and he says, "No, like BACK-UP. You know, soldiers are always calling for back-up. Back-up NEVER loses!" We have a little chuckle and then he says, "Actually, I think I'll be REINFORCEMENTS!"

I'm proud to report that Harrison and Alex got great reports from the dentist this morning. Harrison was a little P.O.ed that Alex got an A for brushing and he got a B for brushing. I explained it was most likely because Harrison has more teeth and they are harder to brush. That seemed to satisfy him. Anyway, Harrison went first and when it was Alex's turn he was not so sure. (they've only counted and looked in his mouth before) So, the hygienist was REALLY good with him, took Doo-D00 (not sure if that's how I should spell that) and sat him in the chair. Doo-Doo got the glasses, reclined in the chair and she got to work. She went through the whole routine with him, which Alex thought was hilarious. When it was Alex's turn he jumped right in the chair and let her do everything, even down to the flossing! GO Alex! To make for an even better day...he went potty on the potty after swimming! He's been peeing on the floor every time we come in and says, "I go poo-poo". Today I caught him before he went and asked if he wanted to go ON the potty. He did it!
