No pics today just parent type talk... I have two kids who are scheduled to see the dentist, the optomestrist, and the pediatrician! I have a feeling we have a couple of cavities and a tummy issue. I am beginning to think Zack may have celiac disease which means he may be allergic to gluten. I have had him tested once, but it is my understanding that I need to have him tested again so this mom will be scooping the poop samples again - blah.
Often when we're out, people comment on how adorable the twins are! Zack responds, "I'm 6, and she is only 4"! Which brings me to my next medical question - should we do growth hormones for him. This will be a topic of discussion with the pediatrician. We shall see if perhaps his tummy trouble has something to do with his short stature. I'll see what the professionals say before I give a more educated opinion.
Zack's height doesn't hold him back from much but, if he had longer legs, he would be better able to compete with kids his age. Although competing is not the end all to life. He starts soccer camp this coming Monday so we shall see if he holds his own regardless of being the size of a 4 year old. I think he's cute and perfect just as he is, but I keep telling myself I must, as a good mom, look into the future not just at today.
Anyone from the Southern California area know of any unique fun parks to take the kids to????

If you don't mind getting a little dirty, the kids would love this one! http://www.surfcityusa.com/discover/78/local/view/Adventure_Playground.php I remember it from when I was a kid. Irvine park is also pretty.
I know a little boy about a year older than Zach with CD. He has the same size issues. I hope you get an answer and you are able to help him easily.
Our new little guy is falling out of size 3's at 5 years old, but I think he is already on his way to catching up. Being a petite girl is certainly easier than being a petite boy in our society. If he is interested you could sign him up for a sport where small stature is an advantage. Julian is going to start gymnastics in a couple weeks. He is really muscular and does acrobatics all over the house. He is going into 1st grade like Zach. :)
Have a great week!

I hope all gets resolved for Zach, and with Sophia's eye.
Fun stuff in SoCal? Santa Ana zoo is nice, small and not crowded, with elephant rides in summer. Aquarium in Long Beach is also nice. Also Boomers in Irvine with race cars, rock climbing, arcades, laser shooting...I haven't taken Kristina yet. We mostly do beach with her, crowded places make her nervous...may be I get nervous an she feels it. I have taken her to zoo and aquarium and wouln't mind going again.
Have fun! Summer is almost over.
