Somewhere around the start of this year I stopped just raising a child and started raising a future adult.

Looks like you're good at it, too.

Buffista parents are amazing and I appreciate them. They're making some awesome kids.

100% what Zen said.

Totally agree. I can't imagine a better guide for a bright, inquisitive child than you, billytea--you haven't grown out of being bright and inquisitive yourself, yet. May you never do.

billy you are raising an amazing kid.

The saga of my dr's continue. When last we left there was miscommunication and I was prescribed an antibiotic I'm allergic to. I called, the office said they'd let the dr know and she'd call something in.

I called this morning. Either she never got the note OR she wasn't able to call it in because she was with patients all day through the evening (we were really busy). She's not there today but the covering physican would call something else in. The original plan with my doctor was - she'd call in a scrip and send the sample out for culture and let me know if I had to change medicines.

The doctor on call is now waiting until the culture comes back to prescribe the right thing. Which could be Monday. I know this is largely my fault for not catching everything but this is not doing me any good. At least I think I have most of the pain under control.

AND the urologist they referred me too called and I have an appointment on Monday. It's in the same town as my therapist's office which is a drive but at least I can go back to dealing with a urologist for these problems.

Ugh, askye that sounds miserable.

ltc is most definitely my kid. She very much prefers grains to vegetables so far. She liked rice cereal. She isn't that impressed by sweet potatoes, but she is absolutely loving her first taste of oatmeal this morning.

There's definitely a genetic component to taste, sj, although it always surprises me when my kids pop up with flavor preferences that come from the other side of their family tree. Like back when my son didn't like chocolate. How could someone who doesn't like chocolate spring from my loins?

I'm still in awe of the fact that I apparently gave birth to an extrovert. How the heck did that happen? What am I supposed to do with an extrovert?

Good news the nurse called me she realized that the covering doctor misread the instructions and called my doctor at home ! to make sure I got on the medicine. Mom picked it up.

sj I'm not sure what you will do with an extrovert kid but ltc is going to be amazing.

I'm glad to hear that, askye. I was upset to read that the doctor's office was making you wait so long for what is obviously necessary treatment.

It was a misread of the instructions which is frustrating but that the nurse went the extra mile made me feel souch better.
