Yesterday I took Aidan to the doctor for his 7 year well child visit. Both Aidan and the doctor were very chatty. Aidan wanted to know what heart valves look like as well as how they work, so Dr. B got out one of his medical textbooks to show him. Dr. B was explaining things, and Aidan waited for a break in the explanation. When there was one, he asked, "Do you know if a box jellyfish can cut out your heart?" Without missing a beat, Dr. B said he knew box jellyfish were particularly poisonous, but that they couldn't cut out one's heart. All in all, the visit went well. After we left I took Aidan to the library . He chose several fiction books, but was really interested to see what we could find out about poison dart frogs and box jellyfish. I did find a book about the world's deadliest creatures. To our delight, it included box jellyfish and poison dart frogs. We deemed our library visit a success. As we were leaving, I got a text that invited Aidan to a friend's house for dinner. He wanted to go, so I dropped him off at the friend's house. He turned to me and said, "Aren't you coming?" I said no. He really wanted me to, and when I said no again, he asked when he would see me again. When I told him 45 minutes, he was satisfied, but only after two kisses.
A doctor visit and a trip to the library was really special. We both enjoyed our time with just each other. I am lucky to have three really sweet boys, but one on one time with any of them is rare. Yesterday Aidan and I made the most of it.
