Two Times Equals Tradition?

At least one of my sons has my (unfortunate?) tendency to think that the way we have done something recently is the way we do something.  When combined with a typical 5-year-olds love of hyperbolic absolutes, you would think that we will never again have a different breakfast option because he ate pancakes two mornings in a row.  Given this logic, it seems we will always have neurology appointments on my birthday (this year and next) and CPclinic* on Aster's birthday (last year and this year).

Compared to last year, our appointment schedule this May is mild, but Aster will still have seen the orthotist (to fit his ankle foot orthosis), the neurologist, and the eye doctor within an 8 day time period.  The eye doctor, along with his speech, occupational, and physical therapists (all through school), is local.  The others are 75-90 miles away.

We are always driving around.  And we always eat rhubarb early in the week.

*At the Cerebral Palsy Clinic, Aster is seen by a pediatric physiatrist and a orthopedist, both of whom specialize in cp, at the same time.
