Today was a very long day. Got off on the wrong foot and it was hard to get back on track. Left the house about 10min behind schedule, realized I needed gas. Got gas, then took the wrong ramp on the highway and went south instead of north. Made the turn around and realized traffic was moving well and I didn't even NEED to detour out of my way to take the HOV lane. Got to the FIRST appointment 10min early anyway. Waited for 50 minutes to be seen. GRRRR. Sophia's stye has no change and nothing to really do, so they gave her another prescription for a week of steroids to put on it ??!! Started home and the GPS said we'd be home by 12.13. Mass highways decided lunch hour rush was the perfect time to fill some pot holes and had all four lanes closed off, allowing two to go at intermittent intervals. Got home about 12.40. I fed the kids so many pretzels at the doctor's office that I knew they wouldn't be hungry, so I didn't push the left over mac n cheese on them. I tried hard to get them down for a nap at 1pm so that they could get a little nap in before their over due well checkups. Dylan gave me a run for my money but went down after not too much trouble. I had to wake BOTH up at 2.20 which killed me as I am always praying they nap longer. Made it 5 minutes late to the 2.50 appointment. They did well, I checked their stats at home and they are actually the SAME size (at 19 months). Both were/ are 33in tall and 23lb 4oz (Sophia a few oz heavier) at this age. Difference is, those stats put Sophia in the 40th percentile in weight and 91st for height and Dylan in the 15th weight and 55th height. Such a double standard.
One super cute thing that happened today, actually happened twice. First at the opthamologist, while I checked us in, Sophia unzipped Dylan's jacket and helped him take it off, one sleeve at a time, careful and gently. She then repeated this at the doctor's office. SO SWEET! Oh, and Dylan is so advanced he can already jump and get both feet off the ground at the same time. The doctor was checking Sophia's development and asked if she could do this. I was pretty sure, so I asked her to try there anyway. Dylan heard me ask her and demonstrated for her what to do. Apparently at 18months, ,this is advanced. That's my D!
