Today

This morning we had to go to the doctor for Jack to have some blood work done in preparation for his lip surgery in a few weeks. He was so good. They had to stick the needle in 3 different veins before they got blood. His veins are too small right now for it to be "easy". He sat in my lap the first time and didn't make a sound, but tears were flowing from his eyes. So hard for me to watch. The next two time he cried like I expected him to. I think I can handle loud crying better than the silent cry. He was trying to be so strong. Because he was so good we went to a toy store and bought some new play dough.

Lillie and Elliott went with us this morning too. They were so good. Never made a sound till Jack started crying loud then Elliott lost it too. We are well known at the doctors office. It is a family practice, but there are very few kids there. I've never seen another kid in the office. We come barreling in 3 in tow.

Lillie is all over the place now. She'll go anywhere.

There were Cheerios under the exersaucer, so she climbed under and had a snack.

Elliott was sitting up in his bed this morning when I went in to get him. That was the first time he has greeted me in that position.
