Survived!

Well, I was wrong! Wm didn't need any shots this year! But, we BOTH remembered the doctor telling us last year that he was going to get two! So, he was thrilled with life. Until the doctor said that he could get HPV this year or next and I was all, "let's do it now - we expected 2 shots today, so he was mentally prepared...one will seem like nothing!" Wm was not happy with my decision. He then had a whole flap when the needle showed up.  After the shot was over, he was delighted and told me what a genius I was to have him do this year. Ha!

We always have to wait FOREVER to see Wm's doc. We love her so much, she is the absolute best. But, the waiting is killer. I'm assuming she's seeing babies whose parents brought them in thinking they were dying when they had the sniffles. But, since I did the same thing...no judgement. However, Wm will not abide. Here he is pouting on the exam table:

Impatient

Wm is healthy as can be! He has grown 2 inches since last year - catapulting him into the 12th percentile! He has actually grown 2 inches every single year for the past 7 years. The doctor said since he's a late bloomer ("no sign of pubescence," she said) and a slow and steady grower, he will likely grow for longer than average. So he may end up being as tall as Steve! But not get there until college. Wm is sad about this. He likes being tiny. He says he wants to be 5'3".

Our next door neighbors are moving. The are RIGHT next door and our backyard kind of overlooks theirs (since we are on a slight incline). Flip even makes an appearance in one of their MLS pictures!

Flip, on guard

So we are REALLY hoping that someone cool moves in. Come be our neighbor (click here for listing)!! But only if you're cool....
(By "cool," I mostly mean will put up with a psychotic barking dog next door!)

And, lastly, we have cat care all squared away for when we are on vacation. Getting pumped!!!
