Just Answer The Question Please....

I'm one of those moms that takes my baby for his well baby checkups on the day he turns a certain age. For example i scheduled his 3 month checkup on the day he turned exactly 3 months and so on for 6 mo, 9 mo, 1 year....Yes, im crazy like that! Anyways, this morning it hit me that Landon hasn't been to the doctor for his 2 year well checkup, so i decided to call the doctor's office to see if he needs any shots.

What transpired next made me feel like a complete idiot and a little, well a lot...irritated.

Me: Hey, my son turned 2 in January and i just realized that he hasn't been to the doctor for his 2 year well check up. Is he up to date on all of his shots?

Receptionist: ..............sits there in silence

Me: I haven't received anything in the mail about his shots or making him an appointment so i just wanted to call and make sure he was up to date.

Receptionist: Whats his date of birth

Me: 1/3/08

Receptionist: Landon Hall?

Me: Yes mam

Receptionist: He hasn't been in for his 2 year check up.!.!.!

Me: REALLY, I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT....ok, that's what i was thinking. What i really said was "No mam, he hasn't been in. Can you tell me if he is up to date on his shots?"

Receptionist: Are you needing to make an appointment?

Me: Well im not sure....if he is up to date on his shots, then no, but if he needs 2 year shots, then yes i will need to make an appointment. Can you check to see if he is up to date on his shots?

Receptionist: Yes, hold one minute please.....***after about 5 minutes****....Mam, he has had his 1 year shots and his 18 month shots.

Me: Ok, Well does he need any shots for 2 years?

Receptionist: No, we don't give shots for 2 years...he wont need any more until he starts school. Would you still like to make an appointment?

Me: ***dropping my head and shaking it in disbelief**** No mam...that's all i needed. Thank you!

Jason and I don't particularly care for this clinic, but its the only pediatric clinic in New Albany and most people highly recommend them. Thankfully, the doctors aren't complete idiots, i mean a little off, like the receptionist are! ;)

I work at McDonald's, Momma!

Just wanted to let you all know that Landon is now employed at McDonalds (according to him). This was our conversation this morning....
Landon: "Is Daddy at work?"
Me: "Yes."
Landon: (crossing his arms) "I go work too!"
Me: "You do?"
Landon: "Uh huh" (shaking his head up and down with his arms still crossed)
Me: "Where do you work?"
Landon: "Ummmm....McDonald's."
Me: "McDonald's?"
Landon: "Uh huh....I eat fries!"

Of course i started laughing because he was so serious. I instantly thought about my nephew, Coden. He used to and still does come up with the most bizarre stories. It's so amazing how children have such creative imaginations!

A few of Landon's milestones as of recently are....
-he knows all his shapes
-he knows most of his colors (he has a hard time with green, black, and brown)
-he says thank you almost every time he should
-when you say thank you to him, he says your welcome
-he knows all of his animals and the sounds they make (when you ask him what a deer says he says boom boom...thanks mom! We will need to work on that one!)
-he knows the difference between hot and cold, rain and snow, night and day (he says good morning in the mornings and goodnight at night time:)
-he knows the difference in boys and girls (he knows that chapstick is for boys and lipstick is for girls...heels, bras, jewelry etc. he knows is for girls)
-he talks in complete sentences 90% of the day and i am continually amazed at his vocabulary
-he has a FANTASTIC memory ( he was looking at a picture of Mawmaw Duff on the fridge the other day and said thats Mawmaw Duff...she lives in Columbus and we hardly see her, but he still remembers)
-he loves going to church and understands the concept of it (this past Sunday i picked him up at church and he said "Momma, i was praising the Lord"..I said "you were?" and he said "Amen!".
-He loves his family and friends more than anything and he talks about each of you all the time, as a matter of fact he calls each of you on his imaginary phone almost every night...especially Coco ;)
-He loves to be the center of attention (mostly the center of my attention) at all times which can be challenging and aggravating.
-The last thing for right now...he told me this morning he wanted a baby, so i asked him if he wanted a baby brother or a baby sister and he said he wants a baby sitser! He'll have to take that up with Daddy ;)
