Brave Boy

Matthew had his appointment for Kindergarten today (well, really yesterday). He did great. 4 shots and only cried on the last one (MMR- stings a lot). But he is done and didn't "get bleed" or "killed" (everytime he gets hurt, he thinks if he bleeds he's going to die??). Both boys were happy to know that they don't need any more scheduled shots until age 11 (Cameron quickly calculated that would be in 4 years). On one of Kristen's blogs, she had put some funny sayings or words used by the kids... I thought I would share some of the kids while I'm thinking about it.
Sun Scream- what we lather our bodies in before we head to the pool or outside for extended periods of time.
Cannonbombs- what the boys do after we've lathered our bodies with sunscream and arrived at the pool. Matthew's preferred method of entering the pool.
Piggy Pank- where their allowance should be going

Oh-I just remembered this about Matthew's appointment today, which I thought was funny. The nurse asked Matthew to do a few things on a piece of paper for her, i.e. copy a triangle, circle and square, write his name and draw a picture of a person. So as he is doing this, she is asking us questions, one of which was if we had any firearms in the house. Which we don't, but after we answered , I look over to see what Matthew is drawing- a man with a gun. Apparently it was a machine gun. Then he proceded to draw a robot with a sword. So, obviously while there are no actual guns in the house, there is defiantely a fair amount of exposure to firearms and weapons. Why do little boys always draw things that are violent? Or is that just my kids?

HA! Kaela calls it a piggy pank too! Boys and weapons. Weapons and boys. I'll never understand it. Corban had an almost 12-year-old friend over yesterday who was using a toothpick to stab his Goldfish. I think we're in it for the long haul.
