little cupid

Tonight, after his bath, Dennis interrupted his room cleaning to chase me with his bow and arrow. He shot me with a suction-tipped arrow and said "Now you'll fall in love with cleaning!". If only it were that simple!!! He told me I'll have to clean my room every night like he does. Good advice, that.

Tomorrow morning very early, he'll go to the doctor's office for his ear tube surgery. He's not nervous at all, and I'm not so nervous myself. He gets to take Froggy in with him. They said he could bring a toy, and I had to convince him NOT to take a Transformer or fire truck. I hope he reacts well to the anesthesia, that he won't be sick afterward. And I hope he's soon able to hear better. He says he'll have super hearing after his surgery, and he asked me to make him a new Super Hearing Man cape ("it needs to have a big ear on it, Mommy") for his new hero role.

Tonight he called me after my meeting at church to ask me to stop and get him some chocolate ice cream ("from the gas station") on my way home. He was very specific about what he wanted, and when he'd imparted the message, he said "okay, bye" and promptly hung up the phone. He greeted me at the door with "did you get my ice cream?". Of course I did! He's having surgery tomorrow!
