Bird Watching & The Dentist

Today while we were eating lunch we noticed a bird with a beak full of grass. After Kai stopped laughing because he thought it looked like a silly beard, he came to the conclusion that he was building a nest. Naturally, he wanted to know where his nest was. As luck might have it, it was right under our neighbors deck. An ideal spot for us to bird watch from our kitchen window. We saw other birds, but we could always tell if it was our bird if he went back under the deck.

Kai and Luke were both highly entertained by the bird and the potential nest making that was going on just a few feet away. Then Kai made up a "pattern song" that went:

Churp, churp,
Tweet, Tweet.
(repeat about 1 million times, yeah that should be good)

Then Luke chimed in. I am pretty sure that was just what the bird needed to encourage him to hurry up with his nest making.
After nearly an hour of Bird Watching it was time for Kai and I to head to the dentist. This was Kai's very first time, and he was a little nervous even though he is five years old and very brave.

Here is a picture of us in the car before we went in.
Not so scared anymore.
Good News, clean teeth are the best! Bad News, I have two cavities. I have NEVER had a cavity before and I am FREAKING OUT. I of course realize that every day people are getting cavities filled, but somehow that just doesn't help! Sedation Dentistry anyone? Just thinking about it (and typing about it) makes me want to vomit!
