Gone.

Jared is officially gone. And I am officially sad. :(

We're planning on heading to Texas sooner than I had originally planned. I can't stand being sad AND having anxiety about the big move, so I'd rather just get it done. So much still to do before we leave...

In other news, we had Eleanor's 2-year check-up today. The main topic of conversation was her reading, which the doctor seems to be extremely interested in. Eleanor did read for her at her 18-month check-up, but I was worried that this time she wouldn't be as willing to perform. But, I was wrong, and with two doctors looking on, Eleanor read, "I see a yellow helicopter flying high in the sky," which I had written on the exam table paper. They were impressed, and the old one said he had only seen two true kid geniuses in his whole career, but that now he had seen three. They are still encouraging me to have her "tested," and they gave me a phone number of someone to call in Texas. Surprisingly, they seemed pleased when I told them that we had planned all along to homeschool Eleanor. One of the doctors remarked that homeschooling is the best thing we could do for her.

She is still measuring in the 25th percentile for height (33 in.) She went down in weight percentile, and is now in the 40th at 26 pounds. Her head is still very large, but is in the 75th percentile instead of the 95th. Maybe she's losing some of her brains!?! :)

I have not picked up my camera in almost a week, but I'm hoping to do some portraits of little Miss Chloe in the morning.
