On Grandma Griffin's b-day, Ryan had to go visit the doctor. Ryan has complained of some chest pains at various times in the past 3 or 4 weeks, so Stacey took him to the doctor to get it checked out. Apparently, the doctor did an EKG and took some chest X-rays but they believe that there is nothing wrong with him. He may have a little acid reflux. But while at the doctor's office, they decided to give him his 5-year old shots. He got three shots (just for the record - none were injections of steroids - though I want him to be a baseball player, I don't want him to be one that bad!). He said they hurt but according to him he 'only cried a little.' Mommy was good enough to reward him for being so good by taking him to Target and he got to pick out a toy - he settled on a Star Wars battle droid lego set. He was such a big boy and so proud of himself for being so strong. Hunter reminded me that when he was five he got his shots and picked out an orange tow truck Transformer - honestly, that kid has such a great memory - he remembers where he got every single toy from the time that he was 2. Hunter is now reading his third Captain Underpants book. Actually, he checked it out of the library yesterday and starting reading it today and finished reading it right before bed. I think the book has about 200 pages in it, but it keeps his 8-year old mind occupied and he will read it cover to cover. Strang book and strange title, but apparently the book is a popular book for 9 and 10 year old boys. He is also reading a book called Poppy Returns. This is a little slower reading than Captain Underpants, but he will read a couple of chapters a night and is getting toward the end. I am glad that he is reading as much as he does, and I don't mind that he is reading Captain Underpants, even if Captain Underpants is taking on the Nasty Nose Nuggets....
