Headphones

Sarah was on Spring Break for my 2nd OB appointment, so I let her come with me.  She brought her Leapster in case we had to wait a long time (which can happen anytime at an OB’s office!)  She was playing a game on the way to the office, and the sound effects were driving me nuts.  So I asked her to plug her headphones in so I wouldn’t have to hear them.  I asked her if she knew how to plug them in or if she needed me to help her.  Her response: Mommy you just plug them in where the little headphones are!  Duh!  I guess preschoolers are more observant than we give them credit for!

By the way, OB appointment went well.  I gained 8 pounds since my last appointment (oops!)  Sarah was able to hear the baby’s heartbeat and was so excited.  Then down to the lab where Sarah insisted on sitting in my lap while watching intently as the phlebotomist drew my blood.  After Sarah made sure I had an extra band-aid to take with us, we were on our way.  Thankfully we were in and out in about an hour!

Sarah vs. Bike

After over a year of struggling with Sarah and the Bike, Sarah has finally succeeded in circling the neighborhood! Grammy bought the Bike back in Nov/Dec of 2008 because Sarah was outgrowing her tricycle. Sarah was a little stubborn (can you imagine?) and resisted learning how to pedal the new Bike. We were hoping she would eventually get a little peer pressure to learn and that was indeed the case! Friday is W for Wheels day at school, and all the kids in her class get to bring in their bikes to ride at recess. So Sarah decided she better learn to ride that Bike!
