2 year old doctors

Wow has a lot changed since this post in January of 2009. Thank goodness! To sum it up, because my husband has taught me that you always summarize everything :) Isaac had central iv line taken out just after his birthday in February. Both boys ended up in the hospital many times in 2009 for infections and dehydration. The longest one was actually one year ago today. Brian and I spent our anniversary in Boston and thanks to amazing nurses who wanted us to be normal, they were able to keep Christopher an extra night so that we could go out to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Isaac and I spent the rest of the week as well as Mother's Day in Boston. It's been a very long two years with so many ups and downs. When I look back, I honestly don't know how we did it. I don't know how we drove to Boston so much, how I lived with my suitcase packed all the time because I didn't know when we'd get readmitted to the hospital, and I don't know how I managed to go from having a career in Business to a career in medicine. The 'ologys just were not my thing....but it looks like they have become them :)

We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary at home, we are getting ready to celebrate Mother's Day at home and we are hoping to celebrate Isaac walking...all in this month! Isaac rec'd his walker this week and did great with it the first night. Since they he's decided that he doesn't really like it all that much. So now we have to try to encourage him in a new way. He's doing so well though! He wants to walk, he just wants to be lazy and have his Mommy help him. Oh how this little man knows how to have his Mommy wrapped around his finger.

Christopher is doing so well. He's running and climbing all the time. He's the sneakiest little man I know. I took them to an Easter Egg hunt and put all the candy on our center island. I was busy with Isaac and when I came into the room I couldn't find CJ. But I did find a bunch of containers piled on top of each other at the island. I didn't think anything of it, but went to find him. I found him in his room, hiding behind some furniture with chocolate all over his face and smashed candy in his hands. Sometimes I really wish he wasn't like his Momma :)

I'm not sure how many families have doctor kits for their two year olds, but the boys got one from their Aunt Jenny. They love it! It came with a stethoscope, the ear thing, a thermometer, a band aide and a needle that moves for shots. Well my boys have no idea what the band aide is for, but they love to use the rest of the kit. They know exactly how to use the stethoscope to listen to your lungs, belly (for belly sounds in GI kids) and the back. They also know how to give shots in the thigh and that you can take your temperature under your arm you in your pants. Oh my goodness is it funny to watch them. I'm hoping for two pediatric doctors who want to give back you children after all that they have rec'd.
