It has been 5 years already!

It sometimes seems like just yesterday we were preparing for our first little boy.  Now that little boy has turned 5 years old.  Wesley opened his presents after I got home from work.  Kyle asked Wesley if he knew what he was getting for his birthday and he kept telling him he was getting a bed.  Apparently he saw me get one of his presents and was confused.  I got him a new comforter and sheets for when he moves into his own bedroom.  For his birthday we had a family dinner with Poppa, Grandma and Aunt Jenn at Chadwicks in Burley.  The boys were a little crazy at dinner, but we did have a good time.  The next day Wesley got to go to the doctor for his 5 year well child checkup.  I say "got to", but I think Wesley thought it was a had to.  We have been prepping him for this doctor's appointment for several months since he would be receiving a fairly large amount of shots.  He had to get his last set of shots to be able to go to school this upcoming fall.  He got four total shots.  One in his right arm, one in his right thigh and two in his left thigh.  He was really upset after the shots.  He did fine however once he got over the shock of his mom holding him still while he got stuck four times.  The nurse said he did quite well and did not even cry a lot.  He was a real trouper.  His stats are 43 inches tall (75th percentile) and 36 pounds (25th percentile).  He eyesight was appropriate for his age and even his blood pressure was wonderful.  Overall, a healthy little boy.  On Saturday we planned a friend birthday party for him.  He had a Superman party.  He had his cousins and a few friends over for games and cake.  They played Pin the Shield on Superman (instead of pin the tail on the donkey), Kryptonite Treasure Hunt and they colored their own Superman Shields.  He even had a Superman cake.  It went very well and all of the kids seemed to have fun.  After the party ended we went to Gerties with all of the aunts, uncles, cousins and Poppa and Grandma.  The men left Gerties to go play golf that evening and the rest of us went to Grandma and Poppa's house.  It was a wonderful day.
