Doctor, Doctor... Gimme the News...

Well, Josh had his four-year doctor visit today. It was officially confirmed that he is a peanut! He weighed in at 32.5 pounds and is 38.25 inches tall. All of that left him squarely in the 10th percentile for both categories. However, his personality definitely makes up for his small size. Think about the chicken hawk that torments Foghorn Leghorn... :) He also got two of the four vaccines needed for kindergarten today. I know, it's still a year and a half until that happens! But they were thinking ahead and offered up two today and two at the five-year visit. That brave little guy didn't even flinch when they stuck him in the arms twice! Of course, I didn't even tell him that it was going to happen (why do that?!?), but he barely noticed the first and only said "Ow!" after the second. He was more excited that he got two suckers for his two shots!

Tonight we went to Bingo Night at Jacob's elementary school. We had a pretty good time and Jacob actually got a bingo and won a prize! He was able to pick from an array of prizes and came back with a $25 gift card. To PetSmart. What?!? Picking that over Moe's (a local Mexican joint), Price Chopper (the grocery store) or other similar choices? Hmmm. Something must be up with that line of reasoning... Of course, it was. He was thinking that $25 would be enough to buy a puppy. Or a frog. Or a hamster. Or any other living thing that we have already turned down in the past. Silly boy... So, we'll have to do some major negotiating over the next couple of days to see what the impulse choice winnings will be spent on.

This weekend we'll be enjoying the beautiful weather and hope for some thunderstorms to close out the weekend. Of course, we'll sprinkle in a Saturday full of basketball, church and more basketball on Sunday afternoon... Looks like we'll be yearning for a weekend from our weekend, too!

Much love to all... J&A&j&j
