Weeds!

Well, the kids are growing like weeds! I took the kids to the doctor today for their well visits. Ironically none of them was well enough to get shots (they were pretty happy about this) but they have to go back in two weeks (Boo!). They really are SO BIG! Just wait until you see their stats.

Gracie
Age: 4 years and 4 months
Height: 3 ft 8.5 in= 97%
Weight: 44 lbs. = 89%

Sammy
Age: 2 years and 1 month
Height: 3 ft = 85%
Weight: 31 lbs. 79%

Benson
Age: 4.5 months
Height: 27 in= 94%
Weight: 19.4 lbs. = 97%
Head Circumference: 17.5 in= 90%

Gracie also passed her hearing and sight tests. She also sang her ABC's at the top of her lungs while we were waiting for the doctor. The doctor mentioned that he had heard her from outside the room we were waiting in. Do you think he was hinting to me to try to get her to be quieter? Benson just sat there and smiled at the nurse and doctor. Sammy threw the hugest temper tantrum. I am sure all of the other patients in the office thought someone was being tortured by the sound of his screams. Nobody would have guessed that he simply didn't want the doctor to listen to his heart. Or look in his ears. Or eyes. Or actually touch him at all for that matter. I know he just didn't feel good. On a happier note, while we were waiting for the doctor to call us back Sammy was running around and saw the bathroom. He said, " Potty Mommy-ommy, potty." I took him in and helped he get on the big potty. He piddled!!!! The tiniest teeniest little piddle I have ever seen, but still he did it! Then he tooted (yes we call them toots at our house)! Twice! Yay! Two funny things about that... I left the door open in the bathroom. Benson was asleep in his car seat right outside the door and Gracie was doing a puzzle on the floor about 3 yards away. The bathroom was pretty small. I could have crowded us all in there, but it really would have been crowded. Sammy's toots weren't little. They were big looooong ones. I was kind of embarrassed. I am SURE everyone in the waiting room heard. And it just dawned on me that I took Sammy potty in the MENS bathroom. Oops. It was the bathroom that Sammy saw and the one he picked, but I didn't even think about the fact that it was the mens room until about 5 minutes ago. Oh well. It was the first time I have taken the kids all to the doctor together by myself. It was hard, but we made it. I am smiling right now to know that I am a tough enough mommy to handle it.
