Jonah and Audrey's Dr's Visits

Jonah and Audrey each had their physicals last week.  It was fairly uneventful (minus the vaccines which weren't necessarily routine for this age, but we are behind.  That part was traumatic!)  Audrey weighed in at 30lbs and was exactly 3ft tall (Nice easy numbers to remember for age 3, don't you think?)  They said that this made her short and stocky on the charts.  Maybe her "little" brother has thrown off my perception, but I just don't see it.  I think that they had the percentages off.  My big concern was the paci vs thumb debate that we have had going on.  At 3 she was supposed to give up her paci and turn it in for a Barbie.  She did so with surprising willingness, but sticks her in thumb in her sleep.  We have been at a loss since we fought the thumb battle once already and to NOT want to head back down that road again.  (It was amazing to compare how sick we all were before we took away that dirty thumb!)  The Dr agreed that the paci was better than the thumb.  I asked if there was one that would be better for her  He said the cheapest one possible because we need to save all our money for the orthodontist.  How encouraging!  Jonah is as fit as a fiddle!  He is 90% in both height and weight and his tonsils have healed nicely.  I have said it before, but I really like this pediatrician.  It is nice when you find one you can trust.

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!  

A "Spring" Field Trip

This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring!   By the orchids   Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!)     Grandmas and the kids   Look at the fish!   Me and my babes!     What is this?      This inside of the fig   He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks!  (We kind of wanted to take them home!)   Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose!     What a great brother!   Group shot!

A little Reuben update

I took Reuben in for his 4 year today.  Last year...36 lbs 36 inches.  This year 39 lbs 39 inches.  73% for weight and 22% for height.    The nurse said "Buddy, you are a square!"  We knew that already. He got referred to an allergy Dr.  On the one hand he is too young to start allergy meds (unless he starts not being able to sleep-then he'd be looking at shots.) but knowing what he is allergic to could help us make better decisions for him (watch pollen counts, tell Jonah there is no dog in his future, etc.)  Looks like it is time to start figuring our how to get him to take apple cider vinegar!  (Sigh...)
