2 year checkup

everyone was tired this morning.  well at least mom. K ate a good breakfast and went off to school with dad.  Mom and R went to music class.  he enjoys it despite the drive to minnetonka. one of his favorite aspects of the class is "relaxation time" when he gets to chew a starburst candy.  he was generally happy about going to school.  when i was at the center, i peeked in on K. She was in older toddlers playing with a toy in the midst of many other toddlers.  she seemed content, alert, and active.  i hear that she still makes a bee-line for lily when she gets back to younger toddlers.  but she really seems to enjoy being in older toddlers. 

i picked k up for her 2 year check up.  i old her we were going to the doctor and then for pizza.  i knew she had a shot coming today so i wanted her to have a good experience afterwards in case she was developing a fever.  

tallman was in good form as usual.  but k wanted nothing to do with him.  she hid in my shoulder the whole time.  a typical 2 year old response.  but she would forget occasionally and get curious and smile.  she is in the 80th-90th percentile for her weight (31 lbs) and 50th for her height (34 inches).  but the height is a difficult call as she is lying down so she can lose height easily.  she was very angry once she got a shot.  but recovered and said good bye to the computer, to the nurse assistant, and then to doctor.  

She had a good meal of pizza of course.  4 slices! r was kind of touchy. he only wanted his masee.  it was great.  she was a good sport about having to do everything -- masee, more cheese, help me with the pizza, etc. 

after dinner was a mild evening of k playing ball with daddy.  she is good at catching and even better at throwing.  she enjoyed her time with her dad.  r was a little silly.  we did some of her therapeutic exercises including bearwalking and crabwalking.  we have OT tomorrow.  I also got the word that R is moving up to engineers soon.  We worked out a schedule so that the six days he will be in school in august, he will be transitioning.  i think that it will work well.  when i told him about it, he asked me if he will get any presents.  funny (MATERIALIST) kid.
