5 year checkup

October 2, 2015

Happy to be ending the week with a good doctor report! Maxwell went to his 5 year checkup on Wednesday and got an A+!

It was honestly a treat to get to take him to the doctor because we had some one on one time to chat about school, Legos, and tigers. We even got to make lots of shadow puppets on the wall!

Maxwell is 42 and 3/4 inches tall (75th%) and 36 lbs (50th%). Interestingly, he’s been right around those same %s at his 4 year and 3 year checkups! He’s growing right along just as he should be! Unfortunately, he had to get 4 shots. Boo. He was so tough while getting stuck and even watched the nurse do it. But, by the time the last one went in, the tears started flowing. The nice thing about getting shots though? Treats afterward! He got a cake pop from Starbucks and trip to Target where he picked out, what else? more Legos.

Maxwell is taking chess up at school on Monday mornings this year. He’s only had a few classes but is already loving it! He even got his own chess set and t-shirt to wear to every class. Our last two nights around here have looked like this…

Smarty pants! I’m so glad Robert knows how to play because I have no idea. Checkers is more my speed! You gotta watch out for Spence though…last night we found the two extra queens stuck in his garbage truck. 😉

Soccer Star!

I sadly had to miss Maxwell’s first soccer game, but nothing was going to keep me from his second game! On Sunday afternoon we headed out to the drizzly, muggy soccer field with the whole fam in tow! Maxwell and Coach Brown started working on some drills…

while I did my best to entertain Samantha and Spencey on the sidelines! Not the easiest task considering Spencey really wanted to be out on the field with Maxwell. We made it thanks to plenty of gummies! ha!

Baby Mantha was a good cheerleader. I had the go-pod for her…

But she only lasted in that about 5 minutes. Luckily I took the carrier with me so she was happy to hang out there and get a good view of the game.

It got most interesting when Spencey decided he also needed to be held at the same time for the last quarter of the game. Oh my aching back! But, it was all worth it to see Maxwell hustling out on that field!
