Last Sunday we took the boys to the Circus for the first
time. To be honest, we were both really dreading it because we knew that it
would be exhausting and stressful. We took the stroller in thinking we could
find a seat where we could keep them in it. That didn’t work out but
surprisingly they did sit on our laps. When the lights went down, they were
both mesmerized by the glowing lights around the arena. Just before the
intermission, Evan was getting antsy so we let him walk around the concourse a
couple of times and ended up leaving after that. Yes, I was still exhausted,
but it went better than I thought it would.

Alex’s PT is on vacation until February 1st, so
we are seeing the other PT while she is out. I was a bit worried that Alex
wouldn’t do well with her because he sometimes gets upset with people he
doesn’t know. Luckily that is not the case with Julie. He flirted with her
right away which has now earned him the nickname “Ham” from her. He was in the
gait trainer on Wednesday and she got his legs started at first and then she
would only move the actual trainer and he moved his legs all on his own!! I was
so proud of him!!

Evan is now entering the temper tantrum stage of his life.
So far, it’s been quite comical. He likes to throw himself on the floor if
something doesn’t go his way or if he gets disciplined. We lay a blanket down
on the floor for them to play on and he will rub his face into it and sometimes
scream into it. I find myself laughing just typing this. I was informed this week
from my husband that he used to do the same thing when he was little. Like
Father, Like Son.

Yesterday I took the boys to the Doctor for their 18 month
check-up. I was a bit anxious because their appointment in November did not go
well. They cried and were cranky the whole time which made it very hard on me
since I was there alone. This time was a completely different story. They were
super cute and very well behaved. Luckily they are caught up on their shots so
it was strictly a well visit. Evan is already a whopping 25lb 10oz and Alex is
19lb 11oz. It’s a far cry from the 3.5 pounds there were at birth. Both are
healthy and growing well. That’s all a Mother can ask for.
Aahhh, the temper tantrum stage. We are currently in that at just a little over 2 years old and I am not finding it as funny anymore. :) Wait until it happens in public, or in the driveway with neighbors looking on as it was in my case. hee hee.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that their well check up was great! Keep growing boys!
