Today was the children’s 2-month medical appointment.
Mr. Grunty is a bit chunky…at the 75% for weight, and the 50% for height.
Miss Squeaky is petite…at the 25% for height and weight.
They got three shots for 5 different immunizations. What a bargain! They screamed.
A while after, Miss S was fussy, and Mr. G was sleeping. We were warned that they may be “a bit agitated.” That’s an understatement. They are pissed off. (Mr. G is way more screaming now than after his circumcision.) And, they are actually waking each other up to share how pissed off they are. (Usually they can sleep through each other…unless Miss S. notices food is on the way.) I don’t think any of us will get much sleep tonight.
Things they are working on these days.
Mr. G is practicing blowing bubbles.
Miss S is practicing sticking out her tongue.
…The other day, while feeding Mr. G, I said to my boy, “are you about done? Papa is hungry and needs to eat too.” Immediately he spit up some formula. “That’s very nice of you to offer Mr. G, but that’s what birds do for their babies. Human babies don’t need to regurgitate food for their parents.”
Oh yeah…also, a friend was talking about how a relative is a pain on vacations. Because they are super-critical, and shoot down ideas, even if others are super excited something. Well, it got me thinking. I’m the same way on family vacations. I’m terribly rude. So hopefully, in the future, I will smile and be excited about the stuff my family is excited about, or at least if I can’t say something nice, then won’t say anything at all.
I'm thinking about last summer in Twisp...I wanted to go to X for dinner, but other people wanted to go to Y...and I was pissy.
Or a few years ago in San Diego...when my brother wanted to take us to X for dessert, and also to Y to look at the sights...I was just rude and ungrateful.
Wow...I hope my kids take after my better half.
Posted by joncim at August 13, 2007 09:04 PMTrust me!! You do not want them to take after your better half. She is kind and respectful around friends and strangers, but when it comes to family, she will let you know when she is pissed she did not get her way. Mostly she use to just walk away from us and leave when she was pissed. I remember times when she would try and walk home b/c she was not getting her way. Maybe she is different with you, I dont know, but if Ella and Ben inherit her genes in that department, you are in for a fun ride!! ;P
