Little Chef

Gavin and I made brownies together earlier this week.

He loved helping me pour ingredients in and stirring.

Of course he had to taste test it. My daddy has gone back to school. He got a job at Floyd's Mortuary and loves what he does. He's going back to school to get his degree in Mortuary Science so that he can actually be a licensed mortician. He's got a heavy load right now - taking 4 classes!

I'm so proud of him. I know he'll do well.

And, I've been reading Stephanie Dale's blog about bike riding. Mom went riding with Jackie a couple weeks ago and loved it. So...we (Me, mom, and Katie) are going to venture out and try it. I've had a bike for several years, but haven't ridden it much. (I think I need to practice riding it before we go to see if I remember how!) Jason went out and bought me a helmet last night. I'm not too sure about it...I look a little dorky. What do you think?

Have a good weekend!

3 Year Old Well Check

Gavin went for his 3-year-old well check. I was told that he wouldn't get any vaccinations this time around. And Gavin even asked me if he would get some. I told him no. Big mistake. When we got there, they said they would prick his finger for his hemoglobin and cholesterol. And he would also get the new booster for bacterial meningitis. That meant 2 needles that I wasn't counting on. I had to pray. My child was going to think I lied to him. Anyway, he weighed 30 pounds...FINALLY! He's in the 50th percentile. (He has weighed 25 pounds forever.) And his height was in the 25th percentile. Even though he's grown a lot this summer, he's still small for his age. But she said it's ok because his growth is steady and consistent. This was just before the nurse came in to stick his finger and give him the shot. Poor thing had no clue what was about to happen. He did really well with the finger stick. He just looked at the nurse and said, "Ow, you hurt me." And then we sat there and watched the blood fill up the tube. He didn't cry on that one. But he SCREAMED when she gave him the shot. It broke my heart. After she was done, Gavin looked at me snubbing and said, "You said I wouldn't get shot today." I almost cried.

BUT rejoice! There's nothing a popscicle from Nana's house can't fix! We had to make a special trip to her house to get a green one. And all of a sudden...everything is better.
