The Journey of James Weston

Thursday, July 14th, 2022 In the mornings, the landlord and handy man came to rip out the wet moldly carpet and padding. James experienced his first Cutco dinner. It's when Dad takes out his sales team to a nice restaurant. We went to a Brazilian steakhouse and James absolutely loved it. Unfortunately towards the end of the dinner his suction machine did not work and we needed to rush home to take care of it.  Look how close James' crib is! P.S.

Tomorrow we are going out to dinner and this will come in handy. In the kitchen, James played with all sorts of cooking utensils. He also had some green beans at the...

Tuesday, July 12th, 2022 Today James had his 18-month follow-up appointment. We were expecting James to have a few vaccines but luckily he did not have to have any. Of course our pediatrician's office is still heavily trying to push for the flu shot, and this time trying to push for the covid vaccine on an 18 month old. Nope! Anywho, our pediatric appointments always take the longest. Between going over every single update on medications, update on other specialists we are seeing, update on all appointments that are scheduled over the next few months, update on his development. One of the things that takes the longest is having two different people ask the same set of questions regarding his development. Questions regarding how he plays and how he responds as an 18 month old that is 14½ months adjusted. We spoke with a nurse, a developmental specialist, a social worker, a care coordinator, a doctor (and the doctor was also having a resident shadow her).  Overall it was a good appoi...
