Hyrum was so excited to go to the doctors because he knew this visit was a stepping stone to going to Kindergarten.
However, when the nurse told him that he would get shots after his visit with the doctor he was not happy.
When the doctor came into see him, Hyrum was quite chatty. The doctor asked Hyrum to name four colors. Hyrum told the doctor that he likes all the colors, except girl colors. The doctor repeated the question for Hyrum to name four colors. Hyrum picked red, blue, yellow and green (I think).The doctor asked Hyrum what his favorite food was. Hyrum's response was bacon(he does love bacon).
The doctor then asked Hyrum what his favorite fruit was. Hyrum's response was strawberries and bananas(I think).
To be honest, it has been so long that I can't remember all that Hyrum was asked or his answers. Not to mention, I had Ben and Emmy with me too so it was a crazy appointment.
After her conversation with Hyrum, the doctor said that Hyrum was more than ready for Kindergarten. At his appointment he weighed 48.2 lbs and measured 45 inches tall. If I remember correctly he was still documented being in the 90th-95th percentile. He has always been a solid boy.
Hyrum was very upset when he got the shots. As the last shot was going in he screamed, "It BURNS! Like fire and sharp knives."
Now that the shots are past, he is for the most part excited to go to Kindergarten. Below is our to-do list before he goes to Kindergarten. School starts here the first part of August. I am already getting a little emotional about sending him to school and the time is not even here yet. However, we are excited for him and this new adventure he is taking.
*Zoo-CHECK
*Sprinkler Park-CHECK
*Carousel
*Mud Island
*Movie with the Family-CHECK
*Go Miniature Golfing
*Read 20 Books
Ahh, I cried when I registered Jenna for K, when she went her first day in Utah and her first day in KY. It is an emotional time. He is such a bright kid, we all know he will be awesome, but it is not that we worry about that...it's just that our babies are growing up!
