It is bitter cold here - so cold that you want to wrap yourself up in fleece and stay inside until spring. The 20 below temps made me cave to Aidan when he wanted to stay home from school. The thought of all of us, warm in our pjs, playing and doing nothing much at all was too tempting to pass up.
We stayed in our pajamas all day. We played Legos and space ship. We made home made chocolate chip cookies and ate them warm from the oven. And then we all climbed up into my bed, popped in a dvd, and snuggled under the covers to watch it.
It was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
It was so perfect that I almost forgot about Brennan and Griffin's yearly appointments at the doctor's office. Reluctantly, we changed out of our pjs into more presentable attire to trudge through the cold to the doctors.
In an act of maternal genius, I scheduled both boys in a group appointment. It made it go faster, seemed to keep everyone much more calm and less scared. Brennan handled the exam like a champ. He is in the 95% for both weight and height. And he also appears to be colorblind.
I had a hunch he might be color blind for about a year, but the doctor confirmed it today. My poor guy. I am honestly not at all sure what this means yet, beyond the fact that Brennan will never be able to match his own clothes!
Griffin also did great with the exam. He is in the 95% for height - and off the charts considerably for weight. He weighs about the same weight as an average three year old. He is one solid little boy, who may just be genetically predisposed for the football career he is currently obsessed with. (He will only wear clothes related to or about football. This has narrowed our choices considerably.)
After the exams, we came home and had dinner. The boys begged to watch one last show before bedtime upstairs with all of us cuddled up back in bed. Chris came home from work and found us upstairs, all in our pjs, snug as bed bugs. It's a good way to spend a Friday night.
