2:09 PM, Wednesday, September 8th, 2021:   As you can probably imagine since the kid's quarantine has been so extreme - all doctor visits have been out. Especially sad considering we basically gave up 6 months of allergy shots because we couldn't continue the monthly ones when COVID hit. Simply hasn't been worth the risk considering their so close to their vaccines... however, Cam's teeth were an issue we had little choice but to deal with. His two, escuse me 4, front teeth were due to an ectopic eruption that we absolutely bizarre. I kept saying "oh, the other teeth will come out eventually..." and for awhile that seemed true, but soon it was clear that the new teeth were gonna be bent backwards as they were FULLY grown and his baby teeth were still hanging out. We had to go to the dentist...   ...which meant Cam got his first experience with drugs and, well, he was cute.     I gotta say - dude takes needle pain like a motherfuckin' champ. They did the novacaine first, I told him it would pinch (lie, fucking HURTS) and he just slightly tensed up and was totally cool... then after the laughing gas kicked in they took those fuckers out like they were doing construction demo. The dentist had to TWIST and PULL that fucker... oh my shit. Amazing. I think those 6 months of weekly allergy shots toughened him up because he has zero fear of any of that shit. What a badass.   And it's unbelievably adorable to me that when high, he just sings songs about getting a yo-yo. You know? Like... I adore age 7. I adore the priority list of age 7. It actually makes me tear up how endearing this age is. Goddamn I can't wait until they get their vaccines. Hopefully it's still on track for the end of October - right at Halloween.   Whew.   Adam
