Yopp!
Em came through her dentist appointment with flying colors. She’s a little weirded out by how odd her mouth feels from being numb, but she’s dealing with it. Her father has run off to the store to get her some soft treats to eat before he heads to work.
Meanwhile, I have brought out a DVD I had in reserve for just such an occasion. Em is curled up on the couch under a Strawberry Shortcake sheet I had as a girl, which is now old enough to qualify as “vintage.” We are watching Horton Hears a Who. That’s the original version, directed by Chuck Jones and narrated by Hans Conreid. After this, she’s requested the Grinch. Again, the original version. We’ll stick to the classics, thanks.
Want to see Horton?
