Dr. Orin Scrivello, D.D.S.??



Abbie recently went to the dentist with Tess while Tess got her teeth cleaned. The people in the office sent Abbie home with her own mask and gloves. Now, there has been lots of "dentist play" going on at home. Last night she came at me with a plastic knife from her kitchen and informed me that she had to fix a cavity for me. Chad was cracking up the whole time.

For all this excitement about playing dentist, you'd think that she'd want to actually be a dentist. However, she frequently initiates conversations about what she'll be when she grows up and she has clearly stated that she doesn't want to be a dentist. What has she settled on, you ask? Ear, nose and throat doctor. Why? Who knows. Other than the fact that one lives down the street from us, she has never even seen an ENT. Too funny.

In other news, she continues to entertain with her great sense of humor. The other night, I asked Chad what he wanted to eat for dinner. He replied, "Hmmm . . . ." Without missing a beat, Abbie piped in, "You can't cook hmmm, Daddy!" When Chad looked at her, she had this huge grin on her face as she waited for him to get her joke. Perhaps if being an ENT falls through she will have a career as a comedian.
