5 Year Old

Brady had his 5 yr old check up this morning. He is 45.5 lbs. (85%) 45.75 inches tall (94%) he is the average size of a 6 year old. HA! He's been this size for about 4-6 months.
Brady hasn't cried at shots since his 18 month check up. He prides himself on that fact. So on the way to the Dr. I asked him if he'd rather have the flu mist. "NO, I want the shot", was his reply. He was all psyched up for it! Luckily he accepted the mist, only because he had to have 3 other shots! With each shot his eyes got wide as the needle went in, a little shocked look passed over his face, but that was it! On the last shot he said, "oh, that kinda hurt." So funny! He's such a trooper!
His 5th birthday was last Saturday. It was a great time. He had 6 friends over, a house with 8 boys, pretending to be Jedis' is a little crazy! Thank heaven for Jeff, he taught the boys "sick moves", did a tug-o-war, a pinata, and made dry ice rootbeer. I never could have done it alone!
That night we had cousins over for dinner and cake, then headed to the ward Trunk-r-Treat. It was a super busy day, but it was really fun! We all slept really well that night!
As an added bonus Jeff took the boys last night to get new fish. Two Oscars, and 4 goldfish (for them to eat!) We moved the tank into their room, so it also serves as a night light. Brady chose the name Chris for his fish. That has been his favorite name since he was 2. So of course Zach's fish is also named Chris!
After a great morning we are home, and they are fighting. Brady purposfully drives Zach crazy, so he screams. Which drives me crazy. Lovely.

He is the same size as my 7 1/2 year old. She has always been small though.
