Life with Sweet Peaches

I can’t believe another week is almost over. I can’t believe we’re creeping up on mid-June. Seriously, where does the time go?

Molly and I enjoyed our week together; she continues to challenge the boundaries we set for her, which is very trying for her and us, but I know it’s part of the process of growing up. We made a trip to the pediatrician on Wednesday so he could take a look at a rash Molly has on her face and at her awful diaper rash. Thankfully, the issues aren’t related. While we were waiting on Dr. H to come in the room, MJ kept climbing onto the child-size chair, standing up and trying to pull herself onto the counter. I repeatedly put her feet back on the floor and firmly said, “No.” This happened, oh, I don’t know, a ZILLION times. Just when I was getting ready to put the chair on top of the counter so she couldn’t climb into it, Dr. H walks in. He gets a few swift kicks during the exam and Molly really lets the crocodile tears flow. While the doctor is talking to me about our course of action to clear up the rashes, he gives Molly a tennis ball to play with and tells her, “Molly, I’m talking to your mommy. Play with this ball or look at your book.” She obviously doesn’t care that we’re having a conversation because she throws the ball at Dr. H.

Lovely.

I was only slightly less mortified than I would have been in any other situation since I’ve known Dr. H for 30 years.

Later that day, we got together with Graham and Jessica. While I was in California, our new media console arrived in a huge box. {And by arrive, I mean that my dad and Jim picked it up.} One night, Jim had stayed up too late and made Molly a house out of the box. This thing has been a hit, and Molly had a blast showing it off to Graham.

how cute are they?!

I have many more adventures to share from the week, but I’ll save them for another day. Want to read about my trip to Santa Barbara? You can do that here!
