| 6th Year Checkup with a little help from Campbell! |
- Robby said that he would post this if I didn't, so I thought I better write it before he did so you can get my side of the story. Last night, we decided that we would use some of our bread and make paninis. Well, it still takes us forever to find anything in our cabinets and drawers so we looked for the longest time until we found the cabinet full of small appliances. But that panini maker wasn't in there (BTW, this is currently our favorite small appliance!). I wondered where it could be and then saw the small waffle maker in the cabinet-the same waffle maker that I thought I put in the garage sale. So if the waffle maker is in the cabinet and the panini maker is missing, that only means that someone got a good deal on my panini maker. Oh, no worries, I made enough with my garage sale money to re-buy me a panini maker.
- And speaking of tattling on myself, I briefly lost Campbell today. Yep, I am one of those parents. Robby asked me if I wanted him to ask Grannymom if she could go with me to Reagan's doctors appointment this morning and I said that we would be fine....maybe I did need some help. Here is what happened, we were getting Reagan weighed and measured and there was other people around as well so it was chaotic (actually it was chaotic without the other people around). So then the nurse showed us to our room, I pushed Keaton and headed on thinking everyone would follow. We got in the room, I was talking to the nurse, turned around and counted heads and exclaimed "I'm missing one." Sure enough, Campbell was in the hallway looking around-another nurse was getting ready to show her to our room. I am fortunate that the doctor didn't call SCAN to take her away!! She didn't seem too scarred.
- Reagan passed her doctor's visit with flying colors. Martin did asked Reagan a variety of different questions and Reagan just looks at me for the answers. I had to turn and talk to Campbell (probably whispering to her about never leaving her again) so Reagan wouldn't depend on me. Martin did ask if Reagan was reading simple words-I just said yes but didn't add that the little thing is reading up a storm lately. Last year Reagan failed her vision but she passed it fine this year. Also, Reagan's weight is just in the 10th percentile and her height is in the 20th percentile-we always joke that Campbell doesn't belong to us but maybe with Reagan's 10th percentile weight, maybe she isn't ours.
- Once we were all home and accounted for, everyone played outside until lunch and then Pops called saying that he was going to pick up Graham to spend the night. From when Graham heard that until Pops showed up, Graham added stuff to his bag to take-bicycle helmet, 2 pairs of underwear, 2 pairs of pajama pants, pajama shorts, 4 cars-that is just what he packed. I had already packed his bag when he started adding to it. He was so excited and even while he was out playing, he would continually run to the driveway to see if Pops was there yet.
- At Pops' house, Nonna and Pops told Graham that it was rest time so they sat down to rest too. Graham was the only one in the house who didn't have a rest. Nonna and Pops had themselves a nice little rest while Graham played. He took his rest on the way to Larry's pizza. When he came home from Larrys, he asked Nonna if they could work in the yard, if they could mow or if they could look in the shed. That's my little country boy.
- Though over here, Reagan asked us tonight "when are we ever gonna stop doing this?" We asked what she was talking about and she replied "working in the yard every night." That made me think that we have not been out to eat since Keaton has arrived. I know she is just 2 and a half weeks old but for us that is a record.
- When we came in tonight, Campbell headed to the bathroom by herself to get into the shower. She has become well trained to our night time routine. We then had supper and I asked Reagan what her favorite part of the day was and she said "seeing Graham leave." She must have seen my face and changed her answer to "seeing Nonna and Pops."
- After Anderson's shower, I had to cover his little legs in hydrocortisone. It took practically the whole tube-that boy's legs are covered up in excema. He said it didn't bother him but told me that most of them were from when he has fallen (nope, mostly excema). Oh, one more Anderson bit from today-Robby was trying to start a burn pile tonight and had the water hose nearby. Anderson picked it up to spray and it kicked him back like he had shot a shotgun. It scared him pretty good and he never went near the water the rest of the day. Pretty good water pressure around here!
