Rory’s Two-Year Check-Up and the PK4 Leprechaun Lunch {St. Patrick’s Day}

I took Rory for his two-year-old check-up with Dr. N on the morning of St. Patrick’s Day. I got another wear out of the shirt I made for him, and I got lots of compliments on it.

The nurse had the nerve to take Rory’s temperature (normal), as well as weigh (28.5 pounds) and measure (34 inches) him, which freaked him out and made him cry. It wore him out so much that he started to fall asleep on my chest. Sweet boy.

But I made him get down and play with Tiger and his cars until Dr. N came in. She checked him out and we discussed his persistent cough that has been plaguing him for a few weeks. Most of him checked out just fine, but she did hear some wheezing, so she said we unfortunately had to give him breathing treatments again. But at least he didn’t have to get any shots!

Even though the first one was not fun, Rory has done SO well with the treatments. It got to the point where when I tell him it’s time for his treatment, he walks over to the spot where the machine is and sits right down to wait for me. I put on a Mickey for him and he watches it patiently until the treatment is done. Such a good boy.

Once we were done at the doctor last Tuesday, I brought Rory to Nola and Nopsi’s house and headed to Riley’s school. I volunteered to help set up for the PK4 Leprechaun Lunch with their big buddies. Fellow moms and I decorated the lunch tables with green tablecloths and shamrock centerpieces. It looked very festive and I think the kids liked it.

I packed Riley an all-green lunch in honor of the holiday, and he was so excited about it. He even ate all of the healthy stuff before having his green jellybeans!

I love being able to participate in things like this at Riley’s school. He had a great time eating lunch with Eleanor and seemed to love having me there, too. He kept calling me over to his table to ask me questions and tell me things. Silly boy.

I was also able to bring a special something for Riley to give to Claire. Since it was her actual birthday that day, he asked if he could bring her a flower. So stinkin’ sweet. I unfortunately didn’t have time to go to the grocery, but I picked a pretty one from Nola’s backyard for him to give to her. I think she liked it!

After school, I picked up Riley, grabbed Kate on our way back, and we all went to Nola and Nopsi’s house to play. We had a fun afternoon outside enjoying the nice spring-like weather. The kids looked so cute in their SPD shirts.
