The Dentist Appointment

My older son (OS) had a dentist appointment today. 6 months ago, at the last dentist appointment (when I was also a week away from having my second son and thus unable to hold OS down), the dentist said that at the next appointment they would be a little more aggressive about cleaning since OS would be 3. "Do you have any appointments that would accommodate my husband's work schedule?" was my immediate response. Sure, enough they had an 8 am appointment available. This morning OS and my husband headed off to the dentist. I wasn't real surprised when I saw my husband and OS walking up the driveway at 8:20 am. I figured it hadn't gone well. It turns out that it went really well. My response: "Great! You can take him again in June."

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: There's no sense fighting a battle that your spouse/partner can easily solve.
