Makai is all ready for Kindergarten!

Makai had a few appointments this month.  First the dentist to get his last three cavities filled.  All 9 are now filled!  Worst mom award was pretty expensive, but whatever...no going back now.  The good news is that by the 9th filling he was a lot more mature than he was for the 1st, but I don't know if it is a good thing to have a talent for sitting well through a filling.  The dentist was actually rather talented.  He filled the cavities while Makai played a game on an IPOD.  I told him he should add that to his advertising of list of services.

Fixing the last of his 9 cavities.

He also had his kindergarten physical this month.  He wasn't a fan of the shots, but he was a good sport.  He didn't really cry, but told the nurse, "I don't like that you are doing that to me."  So sad.  He weighs 50 lbs.  A pretty solid kid.  He followed the directions the doctor gave him really well.

 He is learning how to read.  He is working hard to learn 100 sight words before Kindergarten.  After learning the first 50 he got a small Lego set.  I am surprised by how well he follows directions.  He was so excited to sit down and follow the directions.  He didn't need any help and played with the Lego for several days.  After learning 100 he'll get a bigger set.  I swore I would never buy another Lego set because we have so many, but when I watched him sitting down and focusing so well I realized that part of the fun is following the instructions and it is a good skill.  So, I just need to suck it up and realize one day I will miss stepping on Lego pieces.  ONE DAY!!  

Not the Lego set he got for reading 50 words, but a set a friend gave him and he put together on his own.  I didn't even know he could do what he did.  I underestimate him.
