day of cute

This morning Dennis noticed a scratch on my elbow. He was very concerned. He first announced in a super-dramatic voice "Mommy--you've got a boo-boo on your arm!". Then he kissed it very gently and I told him it felt much better. Since he could still see the scratch, he told me "I need to go get my doctor kit--I make it all better" and off he went to retrieve his stethoscope. He listened to my elbow and told me I needed a sticker (Band-Aid) on it. I thanked him and told him I would be just fine. He said "I am Doctor Dennis to the rescue!".

Tonight he spent the evening with Gran as we had an out-of-town errand made easier by his absence. When we met up with Gran, she asked him if he wanted to go shopping and he said "YES!". She told me she didn't have a carseat with her so I got out the booster seat. When Dennis saw it, he excitedly said "My BIG BOY SEAT!!" and hurried to get in Gran's car. He told her "I want to go to Target." We hadn't mentioned Target, but she did take him there recently and he knew that he was across the street from it, I guess. Smart little thing! She tells me that they shopped for Chloe and Hadden and Katelyn and he helped wrap the gifts. I also heard that he got a Happy Meal for supper (his favorite). We just picked him up and he's exhausted and a little sad (I had to wake him), and now we're headed home. I have so much still to do and I'm out of time! Gonna be a late one tonight!
