Yesterday was Anya’s 4 year doctor appointment, so I picked her up and we went over to the office and look at the fishies. Whatever distracts them, right??
I was going to pick them both up, but I couldn’t get Kailan up from his nap. I let him sleep, which seemed to be the best idea at the time. He was super tired, which is never a good thing with Kailan. When I returned to get him, the kids were all outside and Kai was sitting in the corner of the playground all sad. He really wanted to go, too. 🙁 At least Anya had a sticker for him…and I had a lollipop for him at home. Anya got a lollipop for taking her shots like a champ, and when asked if we sh0uld maybe let Kai have one, too…she agreed.
Her nurse said she was the best 4 year old she’s ever had. Anya got 4 shots and didn’t cry at all. Our little trooper!
Anya’s pertinent and all important growing stats show that she is in the 75% for height and 50% for weight. She used to be around 50% for height, which is why she actually was able to fit in 3T when she was 3 years old. Now she is in 5T clothes and she just turned 4. The little bugger just wants to catch up to her brother, I think! Too bad he grows like a weed, too, since some of his size 6 jeans are almost too short for him at 5.5 years old.
After her appointment and a brief stop home we went to Costco on empty stomachs (BAD!). After I spent a month of our retirement savings, we had to get home for some more plantings. I’ve almost got everything in the ground…I just need Brian to till up a big patch for the dahlias and cannas. I’m thinking by the end of the long weekend everything will be planted. The kids have been our intermitent little helpers, but at least they are excited about it for 2 minutes before it becomes “work”. 😉
Thanks for all the nice comments on our yard. It tends to be a bit of work (weed, weed, weed and weed again), but it keeps us busy. It’s pretty fun to look at when everything is all pretty, too. 🙂 I’ll try to get a series of posts together on what we have planted and where. It will give me a good excuse to get all our planting written down since my memory is just terrible!
I just can’t get over that she didn’t cry with 4 shots! I don’t know that I could have made it through 4 shots.
What a big girl, 4 shots and no tears! So, the 75% huh? Watch out Stacy – you may end up with a model on your hands – that pretty face, those gorgeous locks & tall too? Have a great weekend and don’t work too hard!
I was always really tall for my age too. Cute pictures of her!
4 shots and no tears, and still wanting to share with big brother???
What a gal….
We are not putting in to much stuff around the house, because we are still wanting to move it out and build a new one,really haven’t even taken to good of care of the stuff that is in, cause we have to move it first… :o( and the whole lay out of the yard will change.. But I still have fence to build around the front pasture… :o)
And shopping hungry???? NEVER a good idea!!! We too spend our inheritance sometimes, cause we have went shopping hungry…. LOL
Have a great weekend!!!
Last time Nadia got shots, she didn’t make a peep. In fact, after they were done she said “that’s all?” I was shocked. These are some tought girls we have! She is so lovely, Stacey, and you make it look so easy to get great pictures anywhere. Yay for healthy kiddos!
Yay for growing and being healthy…and beautiful.
I love those pictures at the doctors. I was so glad Ella didnt need any shots at 3 years old, but we will be going for her 4 years appt. next month and now I know she will be needing shots thanks to your post! Just something else to look forward to! ;0) Ella too is in 5T now and some 4/5 XS girls clothes. Its like they are having a growth spurt at this age. Lord help us!
What a brave girl.
Glad to hear she did so well! Colby’s third birthday is coming up (june 1) and his 3-year check up will follow shortly. I always love get their stats and see how they compare to other kids their age. Good luck keeping your weeds clothed, it is amazing how quickly they grow out of their wardrobes!
Harper is always a trooper at the doctor too. It makes it SO much easier. I would love to see a series of shots of all the things you have planted.
Wait a minute, I JUST got the hang of taking pictures of our dinner and now you’re telling me I have to bring my camera to the doctor’s office? 😛
She’s so pretty – and brave!!
I just love that you took your camera to the doctor!!! I need to remember to do this.
