Valentine's Day 2012!

Joey's gift for Maria, our neighbor.  We found some cute
Valentines to make - superheroes out of tootsie roll pops
and rings out of Hershey's kisses.  We also made these for
his teachers at school.

 

Joey's hair when he woke up on Valentine's day.
Yes, it was a rough night, but this is similar to what
we face daily!

Just a quick craft from school - Wow!  My Joey has some skills!!


 

Gifts - they both get so excited!




Joey got his favorite candy - gummies and dark Dove chocolate!



He also received a Ninjago book, a Ninjago shirt,
and a Sonic shirt!

Joey started his Valentine's Day at 3:30 a.m.  Knowing Joey well, I thought he was simply excited about the Valentine's day party.  However, later realized that he had a fever - after he kept complaining of "hurting spots" - a stomach ache and a sore throat.  Staying up until 6:00 justified us both staying home.

He had his 5 year check up in the afternoon - a little late in the year, but all went well.  The doctor was very open to starting OT and asked if we would like to try some PT, also.  Joey got 3 shots and a TB test.  It was painful for all.  After it was over and we were checking out, Joey told the nurse who created the pain, "Thank you for the shots!"  (Really?) 

By the way, Joey is in the 97th percentile for height!  He is currently 60 pounds and 46 1/2 inches at 5 years, 4 months.
