Good Things Come in 3's

(Like BLTs and 3 year olds!)

Today was Tessa's 3 year checkup at the pediatrician's office. She weighed 28 pounds (25th %) and was 37 inches tall (40th %) .... she seems healthy and looks great.

I thought it was really funny, she was happy and normal until the nurse had to poke her toe and take some blood. That she didn't like. I think she became a little offended and then would have nothing to do with any of it. When the doctor came in he asked her questions, and every time he directed a question directly to her, she closed her eyes, furrowed her brow, put a large frown on her face, and turned her head. I think maybe she thought she was invisible? I don't know, it was pretty funny. Luckily, pediatricians are used to the cold shoulder, and he said especially with 3 year olds.

Once he said he was done, we couldn't get out of there fast enough for Tessa or Kate. Little does Tessa know that in 2 weeks for Kate's 18 month checkup, she has to have 2 shots as well as Kate. Poor girl. I'm sure she'll really be miffed by then.

(on a side note, at the gym this morning a man asked me if they were twins .... doesn't Kate look way smaller than Tess? Maybe it was just the shirts? Sometimes I think people don't really look when they are looking ... you know what I mean?)
