Shots!!!

On Wednesday, I took everyone for their four-year old check-up. I knew they would be getting all of the required shots for school next year. Everyone last received shots at the age of two so they didn't really remember what it felt like. We had tried to prepare everyone all week. We said that the shots would hurt just a little. We also said if you were brave kiddos, we would go purchase a new movie. Overall, everyone was excited about going to the Doctor. Jax was excited to show Dr. Morgan his muscles and how strong he was.
Jax was a whopping 41 inches tall, while Delaney & Baylor were 40.5 inches. Jax thinks that half an inch is a really big deal because he is the tallest! I can't remember exact weights but Delaney was 37 pounds, Jax was 36 pounds and Baylor weighed in at 35.8 pounds. I was shocked that Baylor weighed the least. The boys are 50% percentile for weight and height. Delaney was ranked 50th percentile for height and 75 percentile for weight. This is the opposite of what she ranked at three.
When it was time for shots, Jax insisted on being first. The nurse had Delaney and Baylor go up to the front of the office and hang out with the receptionist and pick out some stickers. Jax was brave. The first two sticks were not too bad but the third and fourth had him in tears. His cry always breaks my heart. I was telling him he wouldn't have to do that again for a while. He still had some tears running down his cheeks as he walked out to join sister and brother. As soon as he saw Baylor he said, "Actually, Baylor, it does hurt".
Delaney decided to go next. We had to follow birth order. She never cried but whined and kept saying ouch, ouch, ouch! She was a trooper. As soon as I laid Baylor down he began to fight me and say " I don't want to lay down". He cried and screamed some. When he was finished, he said in true Baylor fashion with a scowl on his face, "I NOT doing this again. I NOT come to the doctor."
When Daddy got home and said he had heard that everyone was brave, Baylor replied, "I NOT brave. It hurt me!
