Winter

Everyone I've talked to in the last two days is in a bad mood because of the weather. Yesterday it snowed and rained all day. It was a cold, gloomy day. I took the kids to the doctor yesterday for their check-ups, and the doctor looked out the window and sighed. She said, "It's so gray out there." Word, lady. Speaking of the check-up, all went well for the most part. Anders did very well. He had an eye exam and they made it like a game and told him how great he was, and he beamed the whole time. He told the doctor that she's a pretty girl. Wow. Coming from Anders, that it quite a compliment. I think he loves her. He's been saying all day that he's sick and wants to go to the doctor. We had to take him in on Friday night for an ear infection, so he's gotten used to seeing her lately. Addie's fine and gross motor skills are right on track, but she doesn't say any words so we have to have her evaluated by a speech person. The dr. said she could just be a little behind because she's been working on other skills, but just wants to be sure. I had a dream last night that Addie couldn't hear because her ears were plugged up with wax. In reality I think she can hear, because whenever she hears Elmo she looks, and when I say her name from across the room, she looks. Hopefully she's fine.
