The girls had their 2 year check up today!
For the first time in Alex and Josie history, the girls are the exact same size! They both have a head circumference of 19 inches, are 34 inches tall, and weigh 24lbs!
They did ***awesome*** at the doctor's office. Josie went first and cried a little when the tape measure came out (??) to measure her head, but when that was no big deal, she went along with the rest while Alex watched. We doled out the praise big time for every step (measurement, weight, etc.) especially when she stood nicely on the big girl scale. Alex watched and then when it was her turn, was so proud of herself at every step, even had a little smirky grin when she was standing on the big girl scale!
I am going to highly recommend a pretend doctor kit - we just got one for their birthday and we used it to talk a lot about the doctor looking in their ears and mouth and nose, so when it was all happening, they seemed very ok with it.
Then the girls got the flu shot, and get this insanity: neither of them cried!!! What!? Crazy.
The Doctor was very impressed with their skills, especially Josie's sentence structure and Alex's story telling (how she relates past events to share how she is feeling now). And I was shocked to hear we don't go back until next year. What?! I felt like I lived in that office the first year of their lives, and close to it this year. Wonderful!
Thank you to everyone who is in the girls' lives lately, our village is definitely helping to raise two beautiful, polite, sweet, caring, smart, and wonderful little girls!
