Going to the doctor

So the day before Tao leaves we are finally able to tie up some loose ends since the holiday is drawing to a close and the people are back at work.  Even though we brought the boys shot record from home, they still had to get a blood test and physical here to go to school.  We took a taxi to the doctors office and got the run around as where to start.  The kids clinic is a short walk down a dirty alley around the building.  Before they will see us there, we have to get a blood test inside the main building.  To get the blood test, you sit on a stool in a narrow hallway and stick your arm through the window, they tie it and use good old fashioned iodine to clean the spot.  The boys went first and were crying bloody murder before they were touched by the needle.  The youngest went last and knew it would happen to him, took his own coat off and didn't cry a peep!

Back to the kids clinic, they got weighed on a small seat attached to a scale, height and old school E eye test.  Their waiting room only had colorful benches and inflatable dolphins on the ceiling.  No toys or books.  

I'm getting bored sitting in the house, they don't like taking the kids anywhere so I have to constantly watch the kids to ensure they don't get into anything.  I can't just let them play in their room, since it's my father-in-laws study and they've climbed on the desk and stuck over 30 stickers under the bed on the hardwood floor!  So we went up the stairs again and then to explore basement 1 and 2, which I thought may go to the parking ramp.  No, super scary, cameras there to see if someone goes down there.  Out of there fast.

At 5 we got to visit the boys school.  It is behind the apartment complex across the street.  Maybe a 5 minute walk.  It's huge, nice playground, artwork on all the hallways, lots of blocks and toys.  Aidan will be in the preschool room on the ground floor and the boys upstairs on the 3rd floor.  They could be dropped off as early as 6 am and pick up starts at 5pm.  They get all three meals there and a snack.  We shall see if my kids starve or not.  We looked at their on-line menu, seems to be a good assortment of food like hotdogs for breakfast.  

Afterwards we went to a high end mall for dinner at the food court.  My in-laws say it's just a few stops away on bus.  Good!  They have a ton of bakery stores there, so I might get the boys birthday cakes there?  After dinner I insisted on getting cake, so the boys and I each picked out own cake.  We got it at Breadtalk priced about 13-18~$2-3, right next door 59~$10!
