check-up

***Oops, written several days ago and not published.***

Took Jackson in for his three-year well-child visit yesterday.  He did great!  (Until it was time to leave, which is generally how it goes when I take him in public...)  He was super cute standing on the scale for the nurse, and getting his height measurement.  He opened wide when the doctor asked to see his teeth, he sat still when he looked in his ears (which I am amazed at, he is SO SQUIRMY when I'm trying to clean his ears), and he was friendly (not surprising).  Jackson is 32 lbs, which is the 59th percentile; and he is 3' 1.5" tall, which is *only* 49th percentile.  ;)  So, so thankful for an active, healthy little boy!

Some of our favorite words/sayings he says right now:
ree-tangle (rectangle)
The other night he said, "It's not sunny out, it's moony!"
"You're a bad boy!"
"I want somethin'." (When he wants to eat.)

We have had some sickness in the house already.  Hoping this means we're getting it out of the way at the beginning of the season and the rest of winter will be smooth sailing...  Last week Monday I had to pick Caleb up from school sick.  Thankfully he didn't throw up until we got home.  Then we were good the rest of the week until middle of the night Sunday night.  Logan threw up.  In the morning Levi said his tummy didn't feel good, so I kept them both home from school.  Levi didn't end up throwing up and felt fine this morning, so we'll see if we're in the clear with him...  Now I'm worried about what next Monday will bring!  Hopefully this isn't a weekly thing.

I ended up just taking Logan and Levi with me to Jackson's appointment.  I really didn't want to try and reschedule.  Who could I ask to watch my sick kids?  And, it seemed like I could make it through the appointment without them throwing up there (if I thought that was going to happen, I would have stayed home).  The point of making the little guy's appointments during the day is so I can go WITHOUT the other kids, but oh well, we survived without chaos!
