The girls went in for their check up yesterday. They also received their flu/swine flu shot. I got mine as well. Emma weighed in at a whopping 30 lbs 6 oz. Olivia weighed in at 26 lbs 8 oz. Although Livi weighs almost as much as Emma I think Livi will be slowing down with her weight gain.
Their doctor doesn't seem to be concerned that our 3 & 1/2 year old weighs only 30 lbs. Emma has a lot of energy, is healthy, and eats pretty normal for her age. So, we just think she will be a petite little girl----at least for now anyways. I feel so blessed to have healthy kids.
Oh and Livi HATES the doctors office. She doesn't like it when people are all "up in her business" as Aaron would say it. She screamed from the second the doctor came in until the doctor left the room. She calmed down pretty fast. The doctor came back in a 2nd time and she started screaming again-----until she noticed the doctor had a "treat" for her. Then she was happy again. Most doctor's offices give suckers or stickers to the kids. Not this doctor-----their doctor gives them a special treat. It is a golden coin for the toy machine in the hallway. All they need is 1 golden coin to get a toy. So every time we leave the doctors office the girls always have a new toy. They love the toy vending machine.
After their doctors appointment Aaron and I took them to South Towne Mall. They played on the indoor playground and then when they were finished Aaron and I rode the train with the girls. It goes around the lower level of the mall. They had a lot of fun making choo choo noises. After we were done riding the train we all went and got some lunch and then stopped at Mrs. Fields cookies and the girls each picked out a cookie to eat for the ride home in the car. On the way home Emma said "I had so much fun today." Livi said "yeah."It really made me happy that although they started off in the doctors office getting their flu shot---they didn't even remember that. All they remembered was the fun day we all had at the mall.
When we got home Aaron and I put up our Christmas tree(with the girls help of course). The girls were so excited. I would get an ornament out of the box and hand it to Livi or Emma and they would hand it to Aaron to put on the tree. When it was all decorated Emma said "Our tree is so beautiful."
