Drew's Nephrologist

We went to see the Nephrologist today and . . . Drew is just fine! Again. They didn't do anything with him that we haven't done at the regular doctors. He looked at him, listened to his lungs, felt his tummy and looked at his pee. And, he decided that Drew is fine, he could have done all this minus the pee by looking at his file. Too bad they couldn't just tell us that over the phone and without charging us an arm and a leg. So, when there is more blood in the urine, he starts to swell up or some other catastrophic type of thing, then we should worry. Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited that Drew doesn't have a kidney problem, I'm just frustrated that no one has been able to figure out what is wrong with my poor kid.
On a better note, today John learned that OCD is something that is just in you. Drew was sitting on his chair at the doctors and John was kicking his little feet. First one foot then the other. After a while, John started kicking just one foot. Drew started moving his little feet so that his other foot would be the one in position to be kicked. John, being fun kept kicking the same foot. Drew finally said: "this one, this one". So, John obliged and started kicking that one. After a few kicks, Drew was moving so John would get the other. You get the idea, it went on for a few minutes, and John and I were just laughing. Drew decided to take his turn kicking daddy's feet, it was just as funny. Drew kicked John's foot with his right foot, then he kicked the same foot with his left foot. Then he moved over to John's other foot and did the same thing. He kept going back and forth and John and I were just giggling like little school girls. It was very cute.
Madison learned how to grab her little feet the same time she started rolling over. Today, she finally got those pesky socks off!! She was so excited, she was able to eat the socks and breathe at the same time! :)
Alexis' friends taught her that first you get married, then you go on a honeymoon and then you have a baby. She was telling me about how she was going to do this, hopefully in like 25 years, and she made sure to tell me that it would be with someone other than daddy, because he was already married. What an observant little girl. While Drew has slight OCD tendencies like his mother, Alexis is left brained like her mother. The other day she found a toy magazine. She sat down with it and a pen and started circling everything that she wanted. I do have to say, she didn't circle everything, she really only circled the things she wanted. After a couple of minutes she said: "Mom, I don't want this one, but I think Drew would want it. So I'm going to put an X on all the things that I think Drew wants for Christmas." Honestly, what three year old comes up with things like that?
