Checkups For Both

Both the kids had their yearly checkups this last month (March).   I'm happy to say they are both healthy as can be and in good weight and height percentiles.

Alyssa wasn't too happy at her appointment she had to get four shots.  She kept asking me if her doctor was going to give her shots.  I said no.  I wasn't lying he doesn't give the shots the nurse does.  I felt horrible for her and she was not a happy girl.  For the first time she got a little reaction from one of the shots.  It wasn't major and there was no worry after talking with the nurse.
At Knox's appointment Alyssa couldn't wait for him to get shots.  She has been somewhat obsessed with this lately.  She was a little upset when he didn't get any and after talking with the doctor he ended up getting a flu shot.  It didn't really bother him at all.  The student that the doctor has following him around let Alyssa listen to everyone heartbeat with the stethoscope.  She was so excited. 

A friend of ours gave her a medical kit because she is so into this right now.  It's pretty cute listening to her play doctor.  She has set up her lap top on the table and of course all the patients get shots that come in to see her. 

Alyssa is at 40lbs. and 40 inches I'm not sure the percentile at this moment because I can't find the paperwork.  Knox is at 29.7lbs and 36 inches.  I can't believe at how tall this little guy is getting.  I made the comment to Alyssa who has been begging me to go to Disneyland that when Knox was tall enough to go on the rides we could go.  We will see how this summer measures out at the fair etc.  Maybe we will have to get a family trip planned next year at some point.  Grandparents are you listening up!!!!!!!!

My Dancing Girl

We were at the mall one evening, Alyssa's favorite place to go almost, and while we were in Forever 21 she broke out into a dance after taking one of the hats.  She was doing this the whole time we were there and I finally got it on tape. 

She is a blast to take shopping and does not hesitate to tell you her opinion on something, whether it's cute or not.

A Birthday Party For A Special Friend

Sunday we attended yet another birthday party! I tell you there isn't a month that goes by that these kids don't have at least one party to go to and they aren't even in school yet! I'm not complaining because I enjoy watching and celebrating with our friends their children's lives!

Anyways one of the kids' good friend was turning four and she had her party at the Ceramic Place in Everett. I wasn't sure how the kids would like it but they LOVED it! I should have known they would. Knox has really enjoyed painting and picked out a car to paint and so did Alyssa. That kind of surprised me but then the love she has with them it didn't.

Annabelle had a great time and got many great gifts from everyone. All the kids seemed to enjoy it. I'm thinking this will be a fun place to take the kids on a rainy day.

***The kids got their cars back after being fired and were very excited! They turned out great and of course there was already a casualty but nothing a little hot glue wont fix!***
