The medical professional asked me if there was something wrong with his BRAINS!! That REALLY caught me off guard and I immediately had him down on the floor attempting to walk (he will take steps if you hold his hands). Then I handed him a bib (lucky for them I did not have anything but a bib) to prove he could grasp objects and he demonstrated on his own his ability to throw the bib - at the medical person. Then, as if that was not enough, I sat him on the desk to prove he could sit up. She then asked if he could crawl. Well, the answer is no but Ryan never crawled either so I answered that he could get on his knees and ATTEMPTED to crawl. Glenn stopped me before I went on, believing I had made my point - there is NOTHING wrong with his brains!!!
He was weighed (20+ lbs) and measured(29 inches) and screamed so loud that it upset Ryan in the next room. Both Glenn and I explained that he was only weighed and measured but Ryan could not understand why his little brother (aka the Jake monster) was so upset - he was convinced they made him stand up to get weighed and that he was tortured during the measuring process. I assure you, there was NO torture (with the exception that he was taken from his momma and baba for 90 seconds)- both Glenn and I stood there the entire time.
The three stations - ENT, Weight and Measurements, and Development/Brain Checker - were pretty harmless.
The next step is 1-1/2 hours of paperwork. Glenn and Ryan just returned from the pool - which they said was awesome - and Jake is still napping. I also need to exchange some more money for Jake's visa. We are free on Sunday and the group is going to a Thai restaurant. Thai food is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to that.
The Shamain Island, which is where we are staying, is BEAUTIFUL and the hotel is fabulous. We had a great breakfast overlooking the Pearl River. We are so happy to be here!!
More later.
