Five Year Check-up

Yesterday Thomas had to go for his five year check-up.  He had a great check-up....thank God!!  He weighs 34 pounds and could do everything they asked him to do except walk a straight line on the crack in the tile floor.  He was supposed to walk heel to toe and he kept giggling so much he couldn't do it! HA!  I know he can do that thought because he does it here at home on our tile floor.  I was a little concerned about his cough, but that is caused from just drainage and allergies.  Mother and Collins went with us and when we got finished we went out to eat with the Dr. who happens to be my cousin!  We went to a Mexican restaurant and it was really good.  After that we went shopping and Thomas and Collins were really good all day!

Thomas was so good and he cooperated really well.  There was a time not too long ago that he didn't want anything to do with going to the Dr.  He didn't want him looking in his mouth or ears or listening to his lungs.  He is really growing up!

Dr. Jim was just taking a listen to Thomas and Thomas was so involved in whatever was on TV that he wouldn't even smile for me to take his picture!  Oh well, like I said before, he has come a long way at the Dr's office.  He used to wouldn't even think about getting out of my lap and now he is sitting on the table and is so into the TV he isn't even thinking about what Dr. Jim is doing!

Thomas is still making sure he can see the TV even while Dr. Jim is pressing on his stomach.  Thank you Lord for such healthy children!

While we were waiting for Dr. Jim to finish seeing the rest of his morning patients so we could go to lunch, we looked around at the Dollar Tree.  They have a really good Dollar Tree and we had fun looking.  There were some really cute straw hats and I tried to put one on Collins so I could take her picture and she was having no part of that!  Thomas wouldn't let me put one on him either.  The Dollar Tree was an excellent place for getting surprises for being so good at the Dr.  He got more trucks and cars and he couldn't have been any happier!  After lunch, we headed out to shop for a while.  We ended up going to Party City and Thomas and I got us a Halloween costume (we always dress up at work and have a costume contest).  Thomas loved Party City and so did I!  Then, we headed to Ross...another store that I LOVE and then to Dress Barn and then to Khol's. So we had a fun day of shopping too!
