Worst Part of the Day - Took kiddos to the new (to me) gym for the first time today. Wes threw a crying FIT stating (over and over) "don't like this place. Wanna go home." After five minutes of this he glanced at Quinn who was playing with a basketball set, slid out of my arms and walked over to him. Okay - well at least his 'hate of the new' is less long now.

Also got home late from Q's doctor appointment (doctors! traffic!) and then had to rush, rush, rush to get everything ready to take Erik to the airport (Fort Wayne wedding) and then head (traffic!) to Chris and Ann's house as other Reitter, Alex, is in town for the weekend.

Best Part of the Day - Workout, out to lunch, doctor's office, airport, Chris/Ann's house, home at 9 p.m. The day FLEW by with lots accomplished. Also very fun, low key and low stress dinner with Chris, Ann, Alex and all the boys. The boys played sooo well together until about 8 p.m. when it was past bedtimes. Then they settled down for some Deigo while we finished our din din.

Life Lessons - We're at Q's four year Well Appointment and things are going super grand. The doctor is showing Q all his cool equipment and letting him listen to his heart and joking with him. So Q is having a wonderful time. The flu vaccine comes out and it's in a nasal mist format - so that's pretty cool. Then the nurse sets out three shots on the table. "What's that Mama?" asks Q in his sweet voice expecting something cool like the otoscope. Ummmm. The first stick takes him by surprise. The second makes his start to cry. By the third - he is yelling "THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS!" We get in the car and on the way home he announces "I no like doctor. That hurt. I no like the doctor." I have a feeling it is not going to be easy getting him back for that flu booster in four weeks.
