Mama? No. Mama? No?

Yesterday the kids went to their Well Child check up!  Sounds so much fun, doesn't it?

I mean, look at those excited faces!

It was funny.  Julianne wanted to do EVERYTHING that Jax was doing.  So when Jax got weighed, she wanted to jump on the scale too.  In fact, she did after he was done.  Poor girl still had to be weighed on the baby scale, much to her dismay. 

Afterwards, the kids both had blood work done and Jaxson went first.  They just poked his finger and gathered up drops of blood.  He didn't cry or whine about it.  So when it was Julie's turn, I thought she would turn into a drama queen.  I was wrong.  She sat there so patiently and was so happy to have a bandaid.

I think she was more concerned about doing the same things as Jaxson that she wasn't about to complain!  The nurse doing this was so surprised by Julianne's bravery. 

Julie didn't need any shots, but Jax needed 3!  Earlier we told him he was only getting one shot, so I felt bad that there were two extras.  But he was very brave.  When the nurse gave him his shots, he would just say "ow."  Again, she let me know I had some brave kids!

Seriously.  I'm not sure where their courage came from, but I won't complain!

We promised him ice cream, so later in the day we went to Sugarland and Jax got the Cookies and Cream Gelato.  Justin and I got the Pistachio.  I have yet to find a gelato there that is just mediocre.  That place is just that good!

Here are the "lefties" eating their gelato. Jax is explaining to Justin that he can't eat it fast or he will get a headache.  I wonder how he knows that?

[[posterous-content:pid___2]]Want some?

[[posterous-content:pid___3]]Us girls really enjoyed it too!

While going out for ice cream and running errands, Julianne was playing with the binoculars.  She kept saying, "Mama?  No.  Mama? No.  After a while, I turned around to see this:

I figured out she was playing a game.  She was looking for me in the binoculars!  And so I played along with her and when she found me through the binoculars she said, "Mama?  Yes!"  Way too funny.  I'm glad she was having fun in the backseat.

It was busier than I intended it to be yesterday.  But the gelato made up for it!
