What was I thinking...

Who in their right mind would pack up a 4yr old and a 15mth old and venture to the doctor's office all alone? Me I guess...
Today the girls both had their well checkups and Daniel was at work so I took them all by myself. From the start it seemed to good to be true - they were both smiling and laughing in the backseat all the way there. Then we pulled into the parking lot and the switch flipped. They both started whining - Sydney because she knew her fate once we were inside but Casey was doing it because she thought it was what she was supposed to be doing - I can't wait until this "copy my big sister" phase is over - in like 15 years!
After the seemingly 4 hour check-in and wait we saw the Dr. Sydney is weighing in at 42lbs and is 3'6" tall. She is in the 95% for her height and 90% for her weight so she is doing great. Sydney had to have hearing and vision tested and she passed with no problems. She did have to get 4 shots and as you can imagine from that Drama Queen you'd have thought they amputated her legs on the spot. And at this very moment she is laying on the couch watching cartoons because "it hurts so bad to walk mommy."
Casey is doing great. The tubes are still in her ears but thankfully she hasn't had one problem since they were put in and the Dr. said they should fall out pretty soon as her ear canal matures more. She is tipping the scale at 25lbs and is 32" tall. That is the 90th percentile for both categories. Casey had three shots and other than a scream because it was a man giving them (she is selective with the men she allows around her) she was very good. They made her extremely cranky tonight so it was off to bed early.
Both were thrilled when we left with stickers in hand or mouth depending on the child.
