More Appointments

Abby and Zoë had a re-certification appointment over at the Community Campus, which meant that they got to take their first ride in their new booster seats.  They had been using their convertible car seat in the belt positioning booster mode, but we got the new seats because they are much more narrow and will allow for company in the back seat in a few months.  Being that their old seats were so wide, and the girls so not wide, the seat belt is actually positioned much better in these seats, and the girls really do feel like big girls riding in them.

The girls were so afraid that they were going to get a finger prick to test their iron levels today, even though I assured them that I didn't think they'd be needing one since they had one last time.  Abby and Zoë played while I got checked in, then they each got to choose a book.  Abby chose "Dancing in the Wings" by Debbie Allen and Zoë chose "The Velveteen Rabbit" by Margery Williams.  We read the books and then it was time for the girls to get weighed and measured.  This would also be the 'station' where they'd get finger pricks should they need them, so neither of the girls were in a hurry to get over there.  I questioned the woman immediately about this and she let them know that there would be no finger pricking.  Abby weighed in at 32.4 pounds and her height was 40 inches even.  Zoë was 32.6 pounds and 40 ¹/₄ inches.  That puts them both in the 25th percentile for height and just above the 10th for weight.  After this we had to sit and wait a little bit more, so Abby sat beside me quietly reading her book, and Zoë played with the toys.  When the nutritionist came over to get me, so told Abby that she was the perfect role model sitting there reading her book.  The nutritionist was also very impressed with our green smoothies, and how much the girls drink of them (16oz.) and said that she could see how healthy we were by looking at us.
