"Breathing medicine doctor"

Livi saw the respiratory doctor this week.  Follow-up from, well, from everything.

I took all 3 kids & went, & it actually went off without a hitch.  Snack cups full of fruit loops can buy me just the right amount of time of silence usually!  They were actually excited to see the "breathing medicine doctor."  They quite like the inhaler, we have to pretend to give the boys puffs too everytime Livi gets hers.  Not to mention, her name is Dr. Thomas!  {We LOVE Thomas the train!}  So they talked about her all morning, the whole way there & all the way home ;)  {And my friend & past co-worker Anne now works there so it was great to see her briefly too!}

Livi is a rock star at this doctor thing.  Sits quietly while they listen to her.  Steps up nice on the scale.  Stands against the wall to see how tall she is.  She was awesome!  {By the way, in clothes, no shoes, she was 27.5 pounds & I think 34.25 inches.}  The boys sat nicely in the stroller, no screaming!!  And Hayden actually wanted to jump out of the stroller to stand on the scale & see how big he was too!  {Maybe we'll grow out of this stranger anxiety yet??}

Basically, she sounds good.  We'll keep on keepin' on with the steroids through the winter months.  Revisit the issue in spring & talk about weaning down her 'roid dose for the summer.
