I had to leave work early to take Darby back to the dentist to have her cavities drilled. I expected it to take awhile so I brought some work with me, but as it turns out, she was in and out in just under twenty minutes. And that twenty minutes cost me $126. Geez. Imagine if Shelby and I also had cavities. I'm thinking for that much money, they could have stretched it out a little.
The one good thing about the dental visit being so quick was that it allowed us to get back to the other side of town to make Darby's piano lesson on time. I figured we'd miss it, so I had given the piano teacher a heads-up.
Darby also had softball practice after piano. She's really getting quite good at handling the ball. This season is the first season that she hasn't been at all afraid of the ball when I throw it to her. And we're able to have real-deal uninhibited catches before practice. It's pretty cool.
Shelby resumed fencing lessons this evening. Due to vacations and other conflicts, she'd taken six weeks off. Her return to fencing is contingent, however, upon her improved behavior at school. So far that actually isn't going so well, as she had to write sentences again today for being disruptive during PE.
And with the resumption of piano, softball, school, and now fencing, the August ramp-up to Fall is complete, just in time for August itself to have met the wayside. But I am so NOT ready for September.
