After we returned from Orlando, I stayed off on Thu and Fri to watch the kids while Stuart worked.  The boys had some make up time to spend with their friends, a play date with Maxim and lots of play time with Cole.  After video game time on Thu, I took all three boys for a walk on the trail and a treat at T4U afterward.  The next day, Logan, Connor and I went for a bike ride on our own. 

    Before the fall break coming to an end and returning to school, we decided to reach out to Connor’s doctor to ask about his throat.  Connor was complaining something in his throat for two weeks, and he tried to clear his throat often as well.  Other than that, Connor was his normal self and did not have any other symptoms.  We were suggested to take him for a checkup just to be sure.  Nothing abnormal was found and the doctor did a strep throat test anyway which was negative later.  She also suggested that the symptom could be related to reflux or allergy.  Since we were taking Connor in, we decided to make it a family trip for flu shots as well.  When I told Connor about it while we were still in the exam room, he was almost in tears.  Stuart also prepared Logan while they waited for us outside.  When it was our turn, Logan agreed to be the first one.  He was scared, but he did take the injection very well without any hesitation.  It was then Stuart before Connor was willing to take his turn.  He was nervous but was able to stay very still for the nurse to get the work done quickly.  Afterward, the boys had a frozen yogurt treat as a reward for a job well done.
