Healthy Kiddos

We took a trip to the doctor today for Reuben's 3 year and Elise's 15 month.  The other day we drove past the doctor's office and Jonah said, "Remember when we used to go to the doctor there?"  We have been blessed with really healthy kids.
Sweet Reuben...he is thinning out.  He was 37 inches high and 37 lbs.  Still my little square, he grew 4 pounds and 4 inches!  That put him 33% for height and 88% for weight.  That is down from 99% last year. I am so very curious to see where Audrey is next month at her 5 year.
The rice milk is working for Elise, and she is inching back up the charts.  She weighed 21 lbs 14 ounces and was 31 3/4 inches.  She was 60% for weight and 87% for height.  That is up 2 1/2 lbs and 5 inches in 3 months...is that possible?  Jordan and I have thought that she was getting bigger, but that was surprising!  I really wanted to talk through the "if she has a seizure" scenario with the doctor.  It is kind of nice to have a game plan for if that happens (even if I never have to use it!)

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 little extra help

I had heard that age 8 was when a mom feels like a child can really help out around the house.  I must have an exceptional child because Jonah has become very helpful at 7 1/2!  :)    I kept asking him to load the washing machine, and then one day I heard it running!  He took it upon himself to start the machine as well.  A couple of quick lessons and he was good to go.  We are working on load size.  At first two shirts constituted a load.  Then after explaining water waste he tried washing every piece of cloth in the house at once.  It was amazing to me how helpful the extra pair of hands has been the last couple weeks.  I am loving that this is still an exciting new chore that he is eager to help with!     I taught him how to make scrambled eggs, and Jonah now thinks he is the scrambled egg master. He would making them twice a day if I would let him.  Egg consumption in our home was high, a...
