And... I'm Behind!

Well, it didn't take me long to fall behind. Oops. It's mostly because it hasn't been a particularly exciting week so far. Monday, Isaac and Brady (who I refer to as 'the little boys') had their 4-year and 18-month check-ups, respectively. Here they are before the needles came out:

I don't have an 'after' photo, but I'm sure you can imagine the scene: Brady screaming, Isaac crying, Abby screaming AND crying because Brady accidentally ripped the straw hat she was wearing. Ah, the symphony. Anyway, Brady is still small, hovering around 20-25% for height and weight. Isaac continues to be more of a 75% man. He also, as it turns out, earned a referral to occupational therapy thanks to poor balance and poor fine motor skills. (And that's in addition to the speech issues he's had for years and a dogged refusal to potty train.) So I pretty much walked out of there feeling like a complete failure.

Tuesday was a bit better. We made what I termed Super Brownies: box mix jazzed up with candy/toppings I could find in the pantry, including M&Ms (handily squirreled away after Easter), mini marshmallows and caramel topping.

Were they awesome? Not really. The M&Ms were impossible to find post-baking (much to Isaac's great disappointment), and the marshmallow turned into a mushy, chewy mess. But not bad. Nope, definitely not bad.
