Googster

This is our little googster...who frequently wakes up during the night (whether by bad dream or he just wants to see us) and joins us in our bed. He is a whole lot of sweetness...but he is also the wiggliest child I've ever seen AND he snores really loud!!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, Trent had to endure the dreaded "4 year check-up" which is definitely a form of torture. He really enjoyed having his weight and height checked and he liked telling the nurse what the symbols were on the eye chart. But, he wasn't sure about peeing in a cup at all. He thought it was pretty weird. And, even though we had neither confirmed nor denied that there would be shots, Trent was very suspicious. So, he answered most of the nurse's questions and was fairly content throughout the whole examination. But when it came time for Dr. McCorkle to come in, he clammed up and wouldn't say much of anything. (I still don't think Dr. M thinks he can talk...and how would he know??!!) Since Trent had been asking me if there would be shots, I finally told him that he would be getting a shot or 2 (even though he was really getting 4!!). The shots were horrible and painful and created a certain amount of hysteria. He had to get 2 in each upper arm. It took him quite awhile to get over the trauma (even after the nurse gave him 4 suckers), but we did make a special trip to Chick-fil-a (Trent's choice) for a yummy lunch and that helped soothe us a little.

Thankfully, our precious boy is healthy and strong and growing like a weed! We think he is the tallest for this age so far...and if I can locate R&B's 4 year stats, I'd love to compare them.
