Safety first

Sarah Meredith says she wants a pink princess helmet. She no longer wants to wear this plastic mixing bowl for protection.

Do good moms take their kids to the doctor?

I am constantly reminded about how my children almost never go to the doctor. On the one hand, I am very thankful that my kids are rarely sick. On the other hand, I feel super guilty when both of their birthdays are in the fall and it takes me 'till near spring before I make a well child check up for them. I don't even really see the point of these check ups at this age. Neither of them get shots and it seems as if the doctor barely even looks them over. Perhaps we just won't do them anymore. Anyway, I was starting to feel like a bad mom for not taking my kids to the doctor in the past year and a half and so I made an appointment. Nothing really much to report except that I did get some stats. Although Layton feels like a ton of bricks, he weighs 40 pounds, which puts him in the 25-50 percentile. And of course Sarah Meredith is still just floating in space somewhere below the 5th percentile on the growth chart. That girl is so skinny!

Newest guilt trip...Sarah is pushing 3 and a half and I still haven't taken her to the dentist.

Lost in drafts space

I recently found a group of pictures hiding as a draft in my posts. Obviously, they were never published. I know if I hadn't just neglected my blog for 3 months then I would have found them earlier. They are pictures from two events that happened last October. I know, I know, pretty pathetic huh? The first few are from the Autism Ribbon Run that we do every year. The kids just love it and they refer to it all year as "the big race". The second group of pictures are from Sarah Meredith's birthday.

(Look back at the previous post for the pictures)
