Today Sean had his 5 year check up. The poor guy had to have FOUR SHOTS :( He did SO well with the first two. Took deep breaths just like I told him to and didn't even cry. Then when she went over to the other arm for the other 2... he just couldn't take it anymore and started to sob. It was so sad :( I thought that bike shopping afterwards would perk him up a bit... and it did... a bit. But between the shots and the Motrin, he just wanted to go home.

We got both kids new bikes today. Jessi hasn't had one since we moved and got rid of hers (too small... and old and yucky). Sean grew out of his last year too so his Uncle Chris sent him some birthday $$ for a new bike AND a new helmet and pads. He chose a Batman set of pads and helmet and will be just too cool for school on his fancy new bike with his super cool safety gear ;) Jessi is at a sleepover and doesn't even know she has a shiny new bike waiting for her in her grandparents garage (because they are going there tomorrow for a sleepover....WOO HOO!). She is going to be DELIGHTED!! She has been begging for a bike since we moved here!! I plan to get a bike for myself too, but the budget is busted enough this week I think ;) I about pooped my pants when I saw the total....ROFL!! Thank goodness bikes are a once every few years kind of thing!!
