Developments

4 year well child check was a nightmare on both fronts. I was nearly explosive after waiting over an hour and 15 min to see the doctor. Only to be sent up to immunizations after the checkup and see it's now closed for lunch. Ahh, nothing beats hungry mama, hungry kid who needs a nap, and hyperactive boy climbing literally all over every piece of furniture known to man and jumping all over me. He was bored and we were both cranky; not a good combo. After another hour wait, a bit of nasty fast food, more climbing on chairs, we were finally seen. He got 4 horrendous shots in the legs and screamed bloody murder in my ear while I held him down with nearly all my strength. Boy is strong no doubt about it. Some machine in the room started going off and a computer voice said, "noise level too high, noise level too high."  Tell me about it, the computer doesn't have ear drums, now neither do I.

He weighed in at 33lbs (5 lb gain from a whole year ago) and 40 1/4 inches tall (a 2 1/4 gain from last year).

Now I'm exhausted and I either need a nap or an alcoholic beverage. Hell I deserve both. Bring it!
