Random things...

Morgan had her 4 month check up last week. I ended up taking Jack along to the appointment because he was due for a booster shot. The stars were aligned and everything went smoothly! I took Jack's wheelchair and carried Morgan in her carseat. The only trouble I had was getting them both through the door but another mom and her son came to our rescue! We didn't wait long at all and both kids did amazingly well with the shots. Morgan's 13.5 lbs and following the growth chart nicely at around 50% -- not adjusted for prematurity. The pediatrician said she would call and find out whether Morgan qualified for RSV shots. We weren't holding our breath because the cut off is usually 34 weeks and she was born at 34 weeks and 1 day. A few days later I got a call and SHE'S APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No fight, no calls to make, she's going to get them!! I was totally not expecting her to! This is a relief because I am sure Jack will be bringing home lots of bugs from school this winter.

Recently I've realized that Jack does so much better with the Reverse Kaye walker vs. his Crocodile Walker. I had a pit in my stomach thinking we made a mistake getting the Crocodile and that we are basically stuck with it and insurance would not pay for another walker. On a whim I decided to check ebay. Again, someone was looking out for us! There was one in brand new condition Reverse Kaye walker for sale (buy it now) for $60. I purchased it immediately!!!!!!!! They retail for several hundred dollars. When the woman selling the walker emailed me about shipping, we started a conversation about walkers. Her son is now 6 and a half and just "graduated" to using the CROCODILE WALKER! She said her son did better with the Kaye walker at first too. It came by the end of the week and I could not be happier. I'll have to get some video of Jack strolling along our sidewalk out front -- he does amazingly well. His new DAFO's should be in any day now and not a moment too soon. His current pair are just too small. I am not sure if I am going to even wear them on him today when he goes to school.

A cute Jack story! Jack was playing in the living room and I grabbed my keys to go get something out of my car. I passed by him and he said "Bye bye" and I said, "Mommy's not leaving -- I'll be right back" which he replied "Go bye bye?" and I smiled and said "No, mommy is just going to the car honey, I'll be right back!!" I ran to the car and when I came back in Jack had both shoes lined up perfectly on the mat at the door! He really wanted to go somewhere and I obviously didn't get the hint the first time...LOL!

Well, I have to run! Morgan just woke up....told you this was very random! LOL!
