An apple a day...

keeps the doctor away, unless of course you have your annual checkup, or in our case, monthly checkup! Wyatt had his 2 month checkup yesterday. He checked out great! He's 11 lb 11 oz I think and can't remember length...I do remember he's 75% for length and 50% for weight. He did get 4 shots, 2 in each leg + an oral immunization. So, it was rough for the little guy. But, he did great after it was over...he calmed down in no time and wasn't fussy all day!

Speaking of shots, I was doing some gardening yesterday and the kids (Wesley and Tori) were outside with me playing. I was almost done planting when I heard screaming and yelling to the tune of "awww stupid wasps", I turned and looked and saw Wesley on the ground grabbing his leg/foot and 5-6 wasps swarming around him and Tori. I ran as fast as I could the 2 ft they were away from me, grabbed Tori to get her out of the way while Wesley RAN the opposite direction, towards the street. I yelled at him to come back so he did, around the side driveway. He got stung by a red wasp on the top of his foot. I sat him down in a chair right by the driveway, ran in a made a paste of baking soda and caked it on. He was calm by this point and the baking soda was helping the sting. Tori took it upon herself to remind Wesley she got stung by a bee on the finger at which point Wesley told her a wasp sting was MUCH worse than a bee sting. I asked him how he knew that since he's never been stung by a bee and he said his dad told him. I reminded him that his little brother got 4 shots today and he said his one wasp sting was much worse than Wyatt's 4 shots...I just let that one go!

So today, off to the Dr's office, again...Tori was due her 3 yr checkup. Okay, so we're almost 2 months behind...whatever...She checked out perfectly and received her flu shot...well, actually flu mist today too! She took that like a champ. Wesley is scheduled for his 10 yr checkup next Tuesday, yes we're 5 mos behind on that one, but again, whatever...hopefully he'll be able to receive his flu mist then also.

School starts in 12 days, but who's counting??

I'm attaching some pics of Wyatt and Tori...I need to get the pictures of camp developed so I can post some of those also! Did I mention Tori has a new toy? Well, actually it's Wyatt's toy that his Aunt Sandra bought for him, but for some reason Tori thinks she can squeeze her 38+" body into it and have at it. She's even tried pick up Wyatt and move him when he's playing so she can play.

Tori started Ballet/Tap/Tumbling 2 weeks ago. She absolutely loves it! She doesn't ever want to take her ballet shoes off...I have to hide them from her!
That's all for now...I'll post about the Wiggles concert soon...got some cute video from my camera...did I mention video was not allowed??
