the Schrader 5

Yesterday after school all the boys had their annual well visits at the doctor. Things are always so busy during the holidays that we always hold off to January to go. Ethan was pleased because he knew that Will and Noah would be getting their kindergarten shots and that he could just sit back and watch. As soon as we got in the car after picking up Will and Noah from school Ethan said, "We are going to get your shots now!!!" He is a very supportive big brother. Their doctor gave them M&Ms to munch on while they got their shots. I was proud (okay- really I was quite relieved) that there was no crying even after 3 shots each. Will went first and said nothing. Noah of course was not so quiet. After the first shot he said, "Owh, that hurt!" After the last shot the doctor said, "That last one stings a little." Noah looked at her like she was crazy and said, "Uh, they all sting!!!" They demanded that they be taken out to dinner for not crying. That led to a lot of disagreement. I said that Will and Noah could decide where we could go because of shots. Will, along with everyone else, wanted Outback. Noah wanted Tijuana Flats. That has mostly to do with the fact that he wanted some Pez with his kid's meal. Will said that even though he wanted Outback that he would have Tijuana Flats since that is what Noah wanted. So, we had Tijuana Flats! They also watched E.T. last night. They have been dying to see it ever since they went on the E.T. ride at Universal in May.

Aunt Kate, expect a phone call tonight. I told the boys your shot experience when you were little (after they got their shots of course) and they want to tell you how they didn't cry at all!
