At 5 Years Old...

Rylan's favorites as of 03/07/11

Color: Yellow. Although he said he likes all colors except white because "when I color with white it doesn't show up on my white paper". Very true!

Show: Peep and Curious George

Friend: Kaleb and Kade

Food: Spaghetti and peanut butter sandwiches--he usually wants pb and honey but recently has started asking for pb and jam. And he didn't mention it but I will add, he likes toast with peanut butter and then he'll top it with pretzels...his own creation!

Snack: Chocolate chips and marshmallows

Toy: The new firetruck. The Holmans gave it to him for his birthday and when he answered this he even said "It's more exciting than anything"!

(03/30/11)
Rylan had his check up today which included Kindergarten immunizations. I warned him of the bad news and he got the biggest tears in his eyes. The whole way there he was sad and once we got to the doc's office he held onto the car door, not wanting to go it. I don't blame him! He ended up doing really well though and later told Kev that only one of them hurt. He just cried briefly after the 4 shots and limped out of the doc's office saying if he walked really slow it felt better. He didn't move his arms from his sides for the next hour!
His eyes were checked as well. This is the first time he's had his eyes checked since he was a baby! Maybe it's because we switched pediatricians (to a closer office...Payson rather than Provo, but mostly because with our other ped. it seemed like we were always waiting over an hour and I was done with that. I will miss Dr. Adams though. He's been our pediatrician the last 5 years and I really did like him. That wait time just killed me!) Anyways, Rylan's left eye seems to not be so good. His right eye was perfect and together he had 20/20. But his left eye was 20/50 so they suggested he see an eye doctor. Guess we'll have to do that soon.
So, Rylan weighed 44.6 lbs (76%) and is 42.5 inches tall (42%). He's a healthy boy and now he's all ready for kindergarten!
After his appointment we stopped at the gas station for a treat (both boys chose chocolate donuts. And so did I!!) and then headed to Tami's house to play for the next couple hours. It was the perfect way to help Ry forget about his shots and the pain!
