Fear of the Dentist

My wife took the boys to their annual dentist appointment last week. Like everyone else in the world, they were nervous going in. Our four year old decided to take a new approach to the situation, however. When he was sitting in the chair and the hygienist came in, he flashed her an ear-to-ear smile. […]

A Proud Papa

On the bus back from school yesterday, my oldest saw one of his friends punching another one of his friends over and over again. He shouted at the puncher to stop, but with no success. When that didn’t work, he went up to the front of the bus and told the bus driver. She broke […]
