Big Boys!


























I decided to give the boys a "bigger" boys room.
(Yes, I'm one of those parents who let their kids jump on the bed.)
It was a bit of a challenge because Jack likes dinosaurs and Adam likes pirates.
I did my best to make both boys happy.
Although, Adam wanted to paint the room black and have black bedding.
We compromised with a black mirror and dry erase board.

We even got 3 new fish.
Well, 2 new fish. Dora didn't make it.
Adam named his Darth Vader and Jack named his Mario Brothers.
None of the kids have even noticed that one is missing, so I'll just leave the 2 until they notice and start asking questions.
I can't answer any more questions about dying and death.
(Even Nana got quizzed on why her mommy died).

The boys had their 4 year wellness check at the doctors today.
That also meant that they each got 4 shots.
It was traumatic.
Jack went first and screamed and cried.
Adam was watching the whole thing screaming "I don't want one".
Then, when it was Adam's turn, Jack was screaming "don't do it"!

Both boys cried until we got to the car.
Then I got them shakes from McDonalds and all was better.

Jack's 35 lbs in the 50% for weight and height.
Adam's 30 lbs in the 10% and 10% height.
