today

Matt took Carter to his two year checkup this morning. He hasn't met Carter's new doctor since we moved. I wanted them to go without me because, let's face it, there's a different dynamic when you're alone with your child. I don't know why or how, but it's there, and that's what I wanted for Matt and Carter at the pediatrician today.

The summary I got back? Carter's very short, skinny and smart. We need to eliminate all junk food and feed him vegetables with every meal, even if we're just throwing them away. He got a flu vaccine via nasal spray (which I had no idea was possible) and cried when he had to stand on the scale.

My guys brought me home a salted caramel mocha from Starbucks, and we watched Toy Story 3 until naptime. Carter has a cold, so he slept extra long this afternoon.

Tonight we headed to the mall area with our neighbor and got Matt a Halloween costume. Carter, Matt and I won't match whatsoever come Monday, but for now I'm just focused on getting Carter to actually wear his costume. Next year we'll match. I got some heavy duty conditioner for my impossible hair, and my neighbor picked up a couple things at Pottery Barn.

Lately I've been really into snuggling up late at night with my Hunger Games books and putting together outfits to go with my new gray Converse shoes. They both make me feel ten years younger.

  1. Awe happy Halloween! I hope he wears it. My sister is having the same problem with her freshly 2 year old(this oct) to wear his Mickey costume. Lol. I laugh cause idk why she chose mickey. She thought he would love it since he loves Mickey.. Not so much. But Carter's costume is way cutier than Mickey! I love your shoes! I use to own a black pair probably like 15 years ago but I'm old! Have a good Halloween! :-)

  2. I love your Converse - it`s starting to get a bit cold to wear shoes like that here. i`m so envious of your weather!
    I hope Carter wears his costume ok. I`m ashamed to say I haven`t even sorted a costume for my son yet - will have to pull my finger out and get that sorted pronto! Halloween is such a fun holiday!

  4. I read your blog weekly but I have never commented. I LOVE that you had Matt take Carter to the doctor's appointment all by himself. No one but another mom would understand that at all. Both my husband and I are working parents to our 17-month-old, Jack. But because I am a teacher and have school day hours, a lot of those things like doctor's appointments, fall on to me. And I completely agree that it is different being alone with your child. Dads and kids should definitely have special time alone, since us moms get the fun of it all the time. :) Keep up the great blogging!

  5. Adorable! How sweet to bring you home starbucks! I am glad Carter's appt. went well! I love your converse! so cute! My little guy hates veggies too! However, I stopped offering them, I should offer them I guess just incase he eats them...That's a very good suggestion by your ped!

  9. Good luck getting Carter to eat more veggies! I bet it's a real struggle...I hear they can be so picky at that age. My son is only 6 months old, so I have yet to learn for myself.
