it's already written on the calendar and thus, set in stone

Today I took the boys to the dentist. Both of them. Tommy is, and always has been, a super star dental patient. He grins through the entire process. He is mistakenly convinced that he, at some point, "before 1972" he had a cavity. Neither I nor the dentist can convince him otherwise. Johnny was a first-timer. His visits (we tried two different times today) consisted of him frantically and emphatically responding to every request and query directed at him with a definite, "No way!" It's surprising how many people are completely charmed by this outright defiance when it comes from my little blue-eyed boy. They got a quick glance in his mouth and that was all. They will try again in six months. This is where it got weird. When I made the appointments we were booking out in October and I had to consider the fact that Tommy will be in real school all day long and schedule accordingly. I realize that it's possibly a little early to be freaking out about the changes I see coming but you all know how I feel about thinking ahead.

I know EXACTLY how you feel! It seems crazy, but the time is going by so fast. And the "No Way" is kind-of cute. :)

I know what you mean! I freak about changes that are coming all the time, including my boys going to school, driving, graduating, leaving home, getting married, having their own kids.... the list goes on and on! Ugh!

Not early! I didn't schedule Phillip's next cleaning so that I could schedule both boys at the same time since they will both be in all day school! I'm already a lot sad.

Yuck. I remember that feeling and I am not a fan. Sigh, they grow up too fast. I'll have three in school all day come fall. My baby is going to be so sad. Sigh, they grow up too fast.

I don't love change. I don't love my daughter will be 10 in two months. It all happens way too fast. Well most of it. ;)
