Happy April 1st. The April Fools Day joke today was snow and school cancellation. I was looking at pictures from Eve’s 3yr check up and there was sunshine and green grass. Not today! Instead I had to take both kids to the doctor where we waited for over an hour. Sigh. They were as well behaved as can be expected for two bouncy kids in the doctor’s office at lunch time.
Eve, of course, is healthy and strong. She weighs 41lbs and is 42″ tall. The doctor didn’t tell me her percentages, but I’m sure they are fine. We know she’s tall. The doctor said she looked healthy and great. She also got an eye exam today, which I was eager for, and the nurse said she seems to have 20/40 vision. Eve was very silly and Lex was quite distracting, so I think it was hard for her to get an accurate read, but Alan and I have noticed that Eve may not have perfect eye sight. The doctor recommended an appointment with an eye doctor. More on that later.
Eve got three shots at the end of the appointment and cried the whole way home. I got a little bit of lunch in her and then put her to bed. Lex is having quiet time now and I’m trying not to eat all the cookies we have in the house. I really need a sugar detox this week and it’s going to have to begin with a purge of all remaining birthday sweets.
Today is our last day of swimming lessons, marking the end of a crazy week. We are looking forward to a quiet weekend.
Little kids in glasses are adorable! :) Good luck with the eye appointment. I hope you have a pediatric eye doc nearby, they have nifty video stuff for checking out little little kids eyes, at least ours does. Be prepared for the 1st appointment to be a long one. For Lucy’s first one we sat in the waiting room then got checked a bit by a nurse (or whatever her title might be), then they put drops in and sent us back to the waiting room for about a half hour, after that the doc finally saw her and did a few differrent things. Well over an hour, but not so bad if you are expecting it.
