After a packed day at work, I raced out of the office to pick up Griffin at preschool. My mom met me in the parking lot at the doctor's office with Aidan and Brennan. And I took all three with me to the doctor's office to finally get Brennan and Griffin's annual check up. (Yes, it does get a little later each year. Next year, we may have their yearly check ups in August.)
Griffin was dramatically upset over the thought of having shots and instantly burst into tears at seeing his pediatrician. He would not be thrilled to discover he needed all of four shots. He screamed like a banshee, kicking, screaming, yelling and howling. Boy has a flair for the drama. (This is the same child who cried for like a week after his flu shot. I would tell him he was fine and he would look at me with tears in his eyes and say, "I can still see her putting the needle into my arm Mommy." I see Academy award potential in his future.)
Brennan handled the whole experience like a champ. He answered all the questions directly from the doctor, with no help from me. He was such a boy, all grown up at six years old.
They are both healthy and well. Brennan is growing like a week. He grew four inches this past year and is currently in the 97 % for height. Griffin is in the 90% for height. Tall little boys indeed.
After the doctor's office brigade, we met Chris for dinner at Moe's. (Kids eat free on Tuesdays. Yipee!) And then we were off to the boys' school for Student Presentation Night and Ice Cream Social.
The theme was fairy tales. Both boys were proud to display their artwork - Aidan, a wanted poster for the Witch in Hansel and Gretel and Brennan, a picture of Jack the Beanstalk.
