Update 4-21-13

What a week. Poor Henry was under the weather and I didn't know why. I thought maybe it was all the cloudy days in a row or maybe he was growing and just extra sleepy. Well now I know because now the rest of us have it too-- runny noses, tired, sore, grumpy. And, of course, he is now fully recovered and can't understand why the rest of us are walking around like blobs.
Soccer is in full swing now. This year is a little different than the past years. This year they keep score and have goalies. Henry was terrified about his turn at goalie. But he did it twice last weekend and he did a really good job. Man I have to say it is hard to watch your kid do something that you know scares him and to know that it may not go his way. He let a few goals thru and then one of the kids said so nasty stuff to him. Then he messed up a drop kick and I could see that he was on the verge of losing it. He did lose and it ran over to Papa crying. But he pulled it back together and did a pretty good job. He cried the whole tide home though and Wade and I dealt with a parenting challenge that we hadn't before. I'm not sure how we did but I do know that he is going to be a goalie again next week because his coach told me after the game that he was great at it, so I think I need to find a way to toughen up before next Saturday.
Aside from her cold, Georgia is good. Growing, talking, successfully letting us know what she wants and yelling if we don't make it happen fast enough. What can I say, the girl is bossy. But she is also very sweet. She had her first debris appointment last week and it went well. Henry has had two filings in the past few months and it's all because we waiting to long to get him to the dentist so with G we are starting early. She needs to go to the doctor too but I'm really struggling with what to do about her vaccinations right now so I've been putting it off. She is up to date on everything except the MMR and chickenpox. I just feel like I want to delay those shots but I'm not 100% sure.
Well I'm posting from my phone so I'm not going to do anything special with the photos from this week. Here they are, in a chunk. Enjoy.
