Check Ups for Everyone!
It's time for yearly checkups for the boys. I don't know why I look forward to these visits, oh yes I know why because it is a time when you visit the doctor when you aren't sick. Since we recently moved back to Ohio we needed to find a new pediatrician. There is an office less than a mile from our house so we totally lucked out and I really like the doctor so that equals a win win for us! The boys were excited about this visit but Carter was a little nervous he might have to get a shot because he was upset when Nolan got his shots.
When we arrived the nurse did all the normal vitals: weight, height, and blood pressure. It was so cute to see them acting so big and brave. They had to wear little gowns so the doctor could check them out and they thought they were hot snot. Carter was given the hearing test where he wore headphones and raised his hand when he heard a buzzing sound. This was quite comical because he was having a conversation with the nurse and me which listening for the buzz and mid sentence his hand would jet up. (too cute)
The doctor came in and noted that the boys were both in the 50% in every area making them average. I am cool with that! She then asked Carter lots of questions about what veggies he eats. He said, "I like to eat broccoli but only the tops and my mom eats the bottoms for me." She asked if he was drinking juice or water and he said, "I like to drink juice but my mom says I should want to drink water." He was then asked to sing his ABC's and he was very shy when he sang but sang it all in a squeaky nervous voice. He made sure to show her all of his boo boos even a scratch he insisted was a broken leg. When it was Landon's turn he proudly climbed up on the table and let her check his ears and mouth. She asked him about all the scratches and scrapes and he said, "I got those at my house playing with my friend Albert."
