I think this might have to be the last doctor's office photo shoot. Elly just doesn't want to sit still on that dangerously high table anymore.So...yes, I'm a slack mother. Today Canon had her three-year checkup and Elly had her nine-month checkup, two months late and one month late respectively. Both girls are healthy. Elly is tiny. Fifth to tenth percentile in weight. For now I'm going to attribute that to her non-stop movement. I'd say she is pretty darn active for a ten-month-old. It's not like they have percentile charts for activity or calories burned. And...I just make long, skinny babies.
Earlier this week I had a preschool pressure panic attack. Everyone's doing it. I'm not. I'm not ready yet. I almost enrolled Canon, but finally calmed down. I decided to reevaluate in a couple months. If I change my mind, she can enroll in the spring semester...of preschool. I'm a little frustrated that I needed my pediatrician to put her seal of approval on my decision. Okay...very frustrated. She is only three-years-old and I'm already allowing myself to feel the pressure to keep up.
Anyway...healthy girls. Happy day.

Beautiful girls. Wonderful mother. Can life get much better?
P.S. Hope I wasn't the cause of your preschool stress.
You are a fantastic mother who teaches her children and gives them more attention than any preschool ever could. So, seek out some other outlets to socialize Canon and call it a day. Everyone will be happy in the end!
Canon is way more socialized than Miss Maddy, so you know we start preschool next Wed. We went for orientation tonight and I totally cried when I saw her name over a peg for her jacket. They are ready for her, but I am not ready to share her. I felt like a total idiot and blamed it on the pregnancy hormones. Maddy, by the way, shocked me....she felt right at home and I actually had to tear her away when we were the last ones in the room. I guess I underestimate her sometimes. I miss you! Did you check your myspace email?
There are so many times when I feel like I am a "bad" mom b/c I'm not doing things the same way my friends are. Homeschooling for example, it's great but not for us. However, I let it get to me that I'm not doing it! Ugh!
If we all did things the same, life would be so uninteresting.
Adorable picture!
