Yesterday I mentioned MJs appointment for his 3.5yr visit. They send you out notices before the child turns 3 because it takes time to get the appointment. I procrastinated. My other two boys weren't born here so I never got these notices and didn't really care much about them. My theory is that if there's something wrong you can bet I'd notice it before they were 3. and I'd have brought it to the drs attention immediately. I've got a preemie that's now almost 10, kid drs dont' fizz me much. I'm also I guess a bit lax because well if he made it through all those lack of breathing events I'm sure nothing is that big of a deal that we need to jump at everything. SO maybe sometimes I'm too lax?
So off we go, late as usual. I let him sleep in, I blogged, I made breakfast for him and then woke him up, I told him to get dressed. He dawdled. I got a phone call from TJ from school he forgot his t-shirt he was susposed to wear! oh boy! ok so I speed MJ up, we run out the door with toast in a bag for breakfast and ajuice box "here eat this in the car". I stop at the bus unloading zone, run down the front ramp to the school give TJ his shirt and then drive off to the Clinic for the assesment.
MJ wowed the nurse/consultant? I think she was a nurse? I called her a nurse. So BTW no one is shaking hands now a days, just nod at each other, and smile. The next step was him playing in the waiting room, then asking him a few questions while I fill out 3pages of "are you an idiot, and let your child play in water unsurpervised" or "do you check every play area for hazzards", "do you keep tools out of reach..." and my personal favorite, "is your child in a government approves carseat?" ...
Oh there was also a questions about what the temp of our hot water is kept at, and I put down the temp and apparently no one fills that in? I said well my Hubbie is a bit OCD so I know these things.
MJ did the pirate game which was a eye test, cover 1 eye name the letters, apprently usually they use a matching card and you point to the letter that matches the letter they give you. MY BOY! knew all his letters, even the V! agian most kids dont' know them, but I guess most kids parents dont' procrastinate and bring in a 4.25yrold for a 3.5yr visit. oops. So based on all that my son is a genius, yep. The next game was the air plane game, this is a hearing test, wear the earphones and everytime you hear a beep drop a block in the box, done! She looked at his teeth and told him about good brushing and eating and off we went.
Now for the all over the world part. On the way up our main route home, there's a car that turns onto it from a side street, and GUESS what's ontop of the car? yep CAMERAS! I'll be able to take the little google maps walking dude and do my daily walks right her from my blogger chair. I was so excited, we stopped at the store to pick up a treat from the "junk food list" that the nurse told us about, I told the clerk in the store about the googly car. :) So if you see a red van on my route, that's us! and no we didn't wave that much. MJ told daddy when daddy got home "We saw GOOGLE today" hahah

I'm thinking I'll just start freaking everyone out by bypassing the head nod and hand shakes and just hugging everyone I meet.
hugS!
That's pretty cool that you saw Google! We saw them drive down our street awhile back. At one point, a suspicious helicopter hovered over our house and we called the cops to report it. In retrospect, it was probably Google.
I have never seen Google before that was cool. I hate those kinds of appointment. They have your answer the stupidest questions. I haven't been back to the Dr. since Aden is fine and Eric is back to work. So hopefully we do not have to see a Dr. anytime soon. TFS -- Enjoy your night
I heard that there was a situation in the UK where the Google Car was confronted and refused entery into a community for taking pictures. There is some fear of what they will get on cam, when it comes to children and people's stuff?
