Wesley is finally four. He has been talking about turning four all year long. He has memorized his birthday so he could know when it was getting close. He has also had a wish list a mile long that he changed every few days just to throw us off. It finally came on April 17, 2012. He was sick both of the days prior to his birthday and we were hoping he would feel better on his birthday. When he got up that morning he seemed to be doing good and we opened his presents from his parents and brothers. He got baseball stuff from us since he informed us that was his favorite sport that he loves to play. So we got him and nice tee and glove and some practice balls so he can learn how to hit, throw, and catch. He also got a base set so he can set up the bases and run around them. Wes and Nate both had doctors appointments that day so our schedule was a little screwy. At 11 I made Jon take a nap so Wes was the only one awake at that time. I was trying to make his cake and Wes told me his stomach hurt really bad. At which point I discovered he was not feeling better. In fact he was quite sick on his birthday. We went to the doctor for his Well Child Checkup. We have been preparing him for this for a month since he does not like suprises. He did really well, but was very insistent that he not get any shots this time. His stats are 41 1/2 inches tall (75th percentile) and 32 lbs (25th percentile). He let the nurse take his blood pressure and let the doctor look at his ears and eyes well. When the doctor put the stethoscope on his stomach Wesley started giggling and could not stop. Wesley was giggling so hard and wiggling so much I thought he was going to fall off the table. Then we went home and I made Wes and Jon take naps. Jon was starting to run a fever and Wes had thrown up a few times, so I thought it would do them so good. We had planned on going out for pizza, but with the way the boys were doing we ordered in instead. My parents and sister Jennifer came over to celebrate with us. We had pizza and then played games while waiting for my parents to finish a track meet and join us. We then opened presents. Wesley got some really great gifts including a V-Reader. We then ate his "knight" cake. I really didn't know what he meant when he said a "knight" cake so I made a sword and shield and put a horse next to it for decoration. It seemed to work. It was not exactly the day we had planned, and I am sure Wes would have prefered to not be sick, but it turned out well.
