10 and 25

Jonah and Samuel had their 4 year old well visit at the pediatrician this morning. I prepped them for shots all morning.

"Yes, you are getting a shot. It will only hurt a little bit. Then you can get some special candy and that will be really fun right?"

"No, I don't want to go. I'm staying home"

New tactic

"Ok, if you don't get a shot then you can't go up North with us on vacation this summer. Everybody needs shots before we go there."

"Mom, I want to get my shots today!"

Excellent

When we got to the doctor's office Samuel told the nurse that he was older than Jonah because he is a "little bit bigger".

Then he followed it up by telling her that he is "in charge of Jonah".

I said "No, you're not in charge of Jonah"

Then Sam said "Yes, I am in charge of him when we are in our bedroom because I am bigger."

And it turns out he is right. Samuel is in the 25% for height and weight and Jonah is in the 10% for height and weight.


And it turned out that they didn't need any shots.

But my two little peanuts are healthy and that's all that's important...no matter who is in charge!
