Brandon’s 3 year old physical and Chick Flick!

I successfully navigated the two of them today to the doctor’s appointment for Brandon’s 3 year old well child check.  I was a little worried that if it rained, it might make things difficult.  But, luckily we got good weather, and Brandon was very cooperative.  It helped that I prepped him last night as to what would go down at the appointment.  He also likes going to “Mommy’s work” and to the “hostable”.  In fact, when I talked with him last night, he wanted to go there “now”.

Last night at dinner, Brandon didn’t want to eat his veggies, defiantly stating, “NO!  I want to be short and fat.”  Looks like he won’t be getting his wish, about the short part anyways.  I kept laughing at his request to be short and fat, even minutes after he said it, prompting him to then ask, “Why are you laughing, Mommy?”  Anyways, as I told him, there weren’t any shots, and the doctor looked in his mouth, eyes, ears, and nose.  She even took the time to show him how the sphygmomanometer worked.  The doctor even asked about Peyton (I didn’t want to bring it up knowing they are usually limited in time).  Brandon was excited to receive a sticker at the end of the visit; he reminded us 3 times to make sure we didn’t forget. 
After the visit, we shuttled off to school.  The kids were in the middle of getting together to read, so he jumped right in to participate, only stopping briefly to say, “Hi, Decki!” and startling him in the process.
I went home for a quick lunch (for both Peyton and me), then it was off to see “He’s Just Not That Into You”, my first chick flick with Peyton!  One of the movie theaters close by has what is called “Diaper Days” where parents are invited to come and bring the little ones along for a first run movie (thanks to Michelle for telling us about it).  I couldn’t believe how full the theater was!  I had the sense it was going to be full just by looking at the stroller parking lot out in front.  It looked like a Disneyland stroller parking lot it was so full!  I wanted an end seat in case I had to make a quick getaway, but I got there a little late (looking for parking), so I had to hike all the way towards the back of the theater.  I’ve never seen a movie by myself, and I’ve never taken an infant with me, so it was quite an accomplishment.  I don’t think I had the guts to go with Brandon; he wouldn’t have sat still long enough (still can’t), and being a first time mom, I would have been more apprehensive about going.  The lights are never dimmed beyond preview mode.  Peyton did great, sleeping for about an hour, then got fidgety in the carseat, so I took her out and she continued to sleep on my shoulder.  The seats rock back and forth, so that was a plus.  She did make her presence known for a brief moment before going back to her quiet self.  Even though there are other babies crying periodically through the movie, it was still jarring to have her cry, I guess because it was right in my ear.  She let me stay in the theater the entire time!  We’ll have to wait two more weeks for the next movie, I wonder what they will show!
Last night, Brandon asked if he could help give Peyton a bath (he was taking cues from a book we’re reading to him about a big brother taking care of his new baby brother).  He helped rinse her off, even asking, “Is she going to poop on me?”  Peyton must have like it (and the ranitidine) because she didn’t have any tummy troubles last night!  The doctor told us to continue until she is at least 3 months, but maybe up until she’s 7 months old!  Hopefully we can get her off of it as soon as possible (I think she doesn’t like the taste).
