Mean Mommy

I subjected my children (Luke and Carter) not only once but TWICE to crying today ... and I'm not talking a few tears, it was full-on wailing :( The first time was necessary and for their continued good health. Their 15 month check-up went well ... skinny boy Carter has moved up to the 8th percentile for weight (he was a whopping 20 lbs. 10 oz). Luke weighed in at 24 lbs. 3 oz. and measured just half an inch longer than Carter. Most people comment on how they look the same size, but I always tell them to pick them up and then they can really tell the difference. We had my favorite nurse today (she's a grandmother to 19 month old twin girls) and she commented on how blessed we are to have such healthy twins. I truly am SO grateful for ALL of my boys' great health!! On to crying take 2 ... now this one was a rite of passage. We went to the mall to see Santa. Graham was excited and had a smile on his face the whole time ... Luke and Carter, not so much. Santa was cute and stood up to tell me after I paid (yes, to make matters worse I paid $16 to make my kids cry) that as he was talking to Graham asking him what he wanted for Christmas, he was being a little shy but when he asked what Luke and Carter wanted, Graham got very animated and shouted, "nothing." I'll try to be nicer to the boys tomorrow :)

I guess I need Santa in all of my pictures from now on, so that I can capture a real smile from Graham
