Can we get a 2 for 1 deal at the doctors, do ya think? So, by now you all know about our sweet tough cookie, Jeffrey. Not much is said on here about #2, Jack E. boy! Let this post be about him. "Why?", you might wonder. Well, he too may have some sort of leg length discrepancy. We noticed a while back that our 1 year and 5 month old boy's left leg looked a little smaller than his right. Being the slightly neurotic mom I am, I kept holding them side by side and looking at them from every angle. I brought it up a few times at the pediatrician visits and it was dismissed as normal. Until one visit when one of the doctors brought it to my attention before I said anything. I was relieved to know that I wasn't the only one noticing this, but at the same time I was thinking, "oh, crap! Again?" His difference is not nearly as noticeable as Jeffrey's but to mom and dad, it was a concern. So, on Thursday we have appointments for both boys with Dr. Standard. Jack's is at 12:30 and Jeff's is at 1:45. Maybe they'll cut us a deal: the 2 for 1 special.
Or...maybe Jack is just faking it to be like his brother!
Here are some ways in which Jack follows in Jeff's footsteps...
 |
| Biting frozen pancakes before they are microwaved |
 |
| They both like "double tubbies" |
 |
| Neither one likes mom taking their picture |
 |
| They LOVE being outside |
 |
| They bring toys/sports equipment along for the ride wherever we go |
 |
| They LOVE their desserts. Mmmm....chocolate pudding |
 |
| They are both good at being silly |
 |
| They both like shooting hoops |

They like wearing baseball tshirts and watching the wild life in the yard
Playing with water at the table
Jeff was doing it so of course Jack had to get in on the action
Jack tackles like his brother
He likes to play baseball like his brother
Jack is starting to feed Cooper, just like Jeffrey
Butt in the end, our boys have a lot in common and a lot that makes them unique.
We love them both very much and will do anything we need to to help them become amazing big boys!

Make sure you save all of these blogs. They might be a future book. Let us know what happens.
ReplyDeleteJill and Jamie, you surely know what writers' workshop is all about with this blog!

ReplyDeleteDid you say you were thinking "Oh, crap?'
ReplyDeleteSweet little boys, what one doesn't think of, the other will. You just wait!
