Dr. Visits

Well the Striepling babes had their 3 yr, and 18 month checkups today. Which included some shots, and Ellis had his finger poked. The good news is that Ellis was calm and managable, I guess it is his new found 3 yr old maturity, and Lainey was a minimal diva. They were both a little concerned in the waiting room though.

All was well though. Ellis has weighed in the lower percentiles since he was 12mos, but now his height has dropped. He was 50th, now his is 30th. Up until 9 months he was 90th percentile everything, and Lord knows both of my kids eat and eat. I guess he might have inherited the Barnhill height from his Daddy's side, who knows he might shoot on up??? Lainey is tall and skinny 80th percentile height, 20th weight. Tall and skinny, pretty much like Ellis was at 18 months. Why can't I be tall and SKINNY? Maybe I shouldn't have ate so much mac and cheese last night.

Anyway because I am insane and a glutton for punishment I took the kids to CEC after the Dr's for lunch. They were pretty good, and I wanted to treat them. It was a bad idea that resulted in a ripped shirt, and made the trip to the grocery store afterward even more tiresome. Yawwwnnn. But they had fun.

By the way my skinny child ate 3 whole pieces of pizza, and wanted another but I said no.

Just shoot me now.

So far it has been a good day, Ellis limping out of the Dr's office and all. (He is just like his Daddy, the thought of the shot and he was sure a limp was necessary), and I now think that Lainey has fallen asleep, finally, so I might shut my eyes for a minute or 30.
