Someone likes to wake up like mommy.

And somone likes to wake up like daddy!

When did going to the bathroom become a group activity?

“Dad, I don’t have a shirt on, please stop taking pictures”

Short and sweet before kids wake up:

Eye appt for Paige and Cole:  Always scary.  Appt was grueling but worth the torture of sitting in exam room for over an hour.  Neither Paige or Cole’s prescription changed.  I mentioned to Dr. that Paige still cocks her head to focus on something intently but the good news is that she apparently cocks in both directions.  I really only see her cock one way at home, but she did both in the office.  She is still doing this and probably always will, to stop the bouncing of her eyes.  The worst story about the eye appt is that the eyeglass store that I have had issues with in the past once again screwed up.  Cole’s lenses were switched in his frames and the doctor had rechecked it about three times because he too couldn’t believe that the store did that to Cole YET AGAIN.  I had to go back to the store which was good in a way because I needed to let that lady know that she once again dropped the ball big time.  As mad as I was I know that I didn’t properly convey to her what an idiot I think she is.  Or how she could have caused my son eye damage and given him really bad headaches AGAIN because of her incompetence.  Eric told me to stop going there, but really it is difficult to find a pediatric eye store that carries frames that fit our kids.  I have gone elsewhere in the past (both of the backup pairs for each kid are at other stores) but the frames that fit best are from this place so it makes sense to do repairs with this place.  I can handle the fact that she continually tells me the glasses will be ready by a certain date and I usually add an extra week onto the day they tell me.  But when her mistakes cause discomfort or damage….totally unacceptable.

Whew!  Glad I got that off my chest…because it was very difficult to verbalize to this woman how I feel about her job performance knowing that I have to continue using her services.  And the weird part is that I finally felt like we were reaching a point of mutual acceptance of each other and now that’s all gone.  Okay I said I was going to stop talking about this.  Moving on.  We got the endocrine results back for Cole.  I was okay with the results either way.  Human growth hormone problem…fix it…fix Cole…move on.  No human growth hormone problem…Cole’s normal…keep doing what we’re doing.                  Cole’s normal. 

Allergy testing results on Cole and Drew:  The RAST testing results were normal on both boys.  Huh?  So no allergies.  Yippee!  This is fantastic for Cole because he’s going to be starting preschool in 40+ days and I didn’t want them to have to give him a special diet or make him sit at the “allergy table” with a big sign on his chest saying Don’t feed Me Peanuts.  He’s now totally normal.  :)  Drew on the otherhand was switched to an expensive formula containing no soy or milk proteins for a week and he continues to have diarrhea.  He is not allergic, but he may still have an intolerance.  We are to continue the formula (which is for infants 0-12mo old and Drew is 15mo old) until we see the allergy doctor again.  Uug.  Maybe Drew just has an overactive gut?  We’ll see.  We also have his 15-mo appt coming up soon so we’ll see what our peed’s office says about all this.  I’m also dying to see how tall the big guy is.  He’s comparable in height now to Cole who was 33 1/2 at last check.  I’m thinking crib tent soon for Drew since he’s been making the motions to crawl out of his crib.  He’s only 15 mo!!!

That’s all.  But that’s enough for one week, right?
