6 Kid Craziness

I survived 6 children under 3 for 10 entire minutes on my own today. It was not nearly as bad as you might think. We had Abby's friens Autumn, "baby" Abby, Rian, and Huron over to play and have lunch. For the most part there was another adult around, but for a little bit I was flying solo and flinging food toward lots of little people.

Abby had her 2 year old check-up today. I got to fly solo for that too. Abby wasn't too happy about being the one getting the check-up, but she did do almost everything she was supposed to do. She cried about being weighed and measured and wouldn't let the doctor look down her throat, but she did okay for her shot and even thanked the nurse for the band-aid and sucker afterward. She was 29 pounds today and 34 1/4 inches. Olivia also sneaked onto the scale. She was 10 pounds 9 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. During the check-up Olivia visited and snuggled with the front desk staff - I think they were in heaven.

And, we finally got both girls to take a 3 hour nap at the same time, so I got a nap and a spin on my elliptical now that I'm done with any restrictions.
