Do other pediatricians not do that?

I've never had to pay for forms. Maybe an LA thing? Seems weird.

Just took Emmett in to the Teen Clinic today where he got his Whooping Cough vaccine boosted. They won't take him back at school until that's cleared.

He's actually only 5'8" (and a quarter) so not quite 5'9". He's gained 30 pounds since last year (mostly filling out and muscle) but the doctor thought that was a bit much so they did a blood draw too. Want to check his cholesterol. Basically he needs to eat better, which is not exactly news but he's a tough project there.

We did get some good advice on joint pain as he plays ball again this summer.

Matilda went to the dentist earlier this week, and they said, start budgeting for braces. She's already lost two baby teeth and the adult teeth are coming in crooked. I guess that's early since age 6 is more typical for adult teeth.

Timelies all!

We're heading out after lunch, and hope the holiday traffic isn't too bad.

My weekend plans are coming together. I'm going to go to Target after early release from work today and buy a beach chair (among other things). Then tomorrow, it's supposed to be nice all day, so I can go to the beach in the afternoon! Sunday, regular weekend errands and whatnot. Monday, to RI with the fam for lunch.

They're interviewing a guy on the news who ran out in last night's crazy ass storm to move his car into the garage...and then a tree fell on the garage. Heh.

Who has two thumbs and as of two minutes ago is officially on vacation?

Are any DCistas a size 8-12 and into vintage-looking clothes? Because I just culled three shopping bags full. And I still have this left over.

It might be time for a yard sale.

Hmmm... What size is the green print dress on the right? And what are you asking for it?

We lost power last night for several hours. Then I spilled coffee on myself and accidentally drop-kicked my phone on the way to a meeting. I didn't horribly embarrass myself IN the meeting, so I guess that's okay.

Oh, sorry! Those are the ones I'm *not* getting rid of. Just to illustrate the degree of clotheshorsiness I have achieved. Good eye, though, that green dress is one of my favorites. If you want, I'll go through and start photographing the stuff I'm culling-- there's a really cute aqua silk Anthro dress you might like.

Holli, if you have anything that might fit a v. busty 12 I may be interested. I like your style!
