At your yearly checkup, Rowan and Saoirse. Some day I suppose you'll want to go to the doctor alone. But for now, it's a group effort. Liam crawls on the floor under the exam table, all three of you sit up there even though you're not being the patient. And I try to answer questions and keep track of what the doctor is telling me in the middle of the chaos. Total insanity. And a perfect example of how lucky we are, every year when your checkup shows again that you are perfectly healthy, thriving children...which is easy to take for granted until I reflect for a minute and remember that this was not promised, and certainly not guaranteed on the day you arrived, weighing less put together than that little sister of your did all by herself.
