{doctors and dentists and school, oh my!}

Yet another busy week for us. Gerard had his shots on Tuesday, and it was not a pleasant experience. He screamed bloody murder during the FOUR shots (two in each leg) and then was miserable for the rest of the day. His left leg is still sore and a bit swollen, but they say that's normal from the DTaP vaccine. Taking off the bandaids was almost worse than getting the shots -- I pulled two of them off without telling him and I thought he was going to pass out from the screaming! The only good part of the whole experience was peeing in a cup. He thought that was pretty cool.

Today he went to the dentist, and luckily that was MUCH better than the doctor. No peeing in a cup, unfortunately, but no shots either. Plus he got to pick out his own toothpaste and help hold the instruments. His exam went so well that he got to pick out a toothbrush, a toy, AND a sticker. What fun!!!

The other day we made a graph like they did at school, only this time we used m&ms. I'm not sure he's my son, though, because when I told him he could eat the m&ms he said he only wanted ONE so he could save the rest. Huh???? He was concentrating pretty hard, as evidenced by the tongue sticking out:

Morgan wore one of the sweaters that Aunt Debbie made. Doesn't she look cute?

And here is Gerard's latest masterpiece; more apples and more sequencing events (now apparently we have to work on gluing them on right-side up!):
