A Good Day

Thursday, April 26, was a good day. It had the potential to be really bad (Kyle was getting 4 shots) but he surprised me and did awesome!

I had already gotten the boys ready for Kyle's appointment when it started to rain. Pretty hard too. If you live in AZ you know that the rain can come down like crazy... for about 8 mins and then be done the rest of the day. I decided to go ahead and let the kids get wet before the appointment even though I knew I would have to change their clothes.

 Poor Bear didn't have any rain gear. Good thing he lived.

 My little observer. 

 Kyle is always looking for a reason to bust out the boots and jacket. I don't blame him.

After that we took Kyle to the doctor for his vaccines. He did great and was so funny. He talked so politely and said, "Doctor, I want to know why are the germs bad and the shots good?" He always addressed him as, "Doctor." When the assistant came in to give the shots Kyle said he wanted to see the needles, but she said she couldn't show it to him until she was ready. Since we didn't know how he would react I basically pinned him while she did one in each arm and leg. Instead of crying Kyle did this intense breathing through it and at the end said, "Mama, is that how you do it?" I was so proud! The nurse was in shock too.

 To reward his awesome behavior we went to Chick-Fil-A. On the way Kyle exclaimed, "But Mama! She forgot to show me the needles!!" Who wants to see the shots?!

Big Goof:

 Laughing at his brother:

Later that afternoon we had our last swim lesson for Reed and Nolan. It was so fun to do this with Candace and Reed. I loved having an activity that was just for Bear since it feels like we are often doing stuff for Kyle. Bear loved waiting and looking for Reed out the window.

Despite their look of horror, both boys loved the time in the pool. Reed was quite the little fishy! I just love these two boys together. 

  I love my boys so much and am grateful I get to stay home with them. Some days are most definitely longer than others, but even on the nights I just can't wait for them to get to bed I find myself looking at pictures of them on my phone before I fall asleep. Being a mom is such a blessing!
