Lola's reward the other day for her vaccs was a chemically-laden strawberry milkshake. And so it goes. (She's a non-eater, too, by the way that also somehow managed to grow, thank goodness).

Bummer about hotty pediatrician. You know, I'm thinking next time you're there you need to snap a cell phone photo so we can get an idea of just how hot he is.

I'm assuming based on the illogical eating to weight gain ratio trend that the consumptions of 2 band-aids resulted in weight gain?

I'm pretty sure that my children would both choose the strawberries over the french fries. They also usually refuse to eat meat, and would happily live on fruit only. Weird little children. :-)

ugh! shots suck. I hate shots.

If you're going to eat the fries, at least microwave them.

They EAT bandaids? That's a new one on me. My kid didn't even eat paste.
You know what's worse than having a hotty peditrician? Having a hottie gynecologist that you keep running into in the grocery store.

I think this proves that children don't actually need food. They run on kinetic energy instead.

Hottie Pediatrician - ugh, I feel for you. I have a Hottie Dentist. As he works his masked Hottie face right into my gaping mouth face, you can just feel the tension. Also? I love it when he puts his tools on my chest.

Thats progress. Who knows where things will end up by the time the kids are too old for the pediatrician.
