Katya had her check up the same day as Elsie's. What an excursion that turned out to be. We were gone almost 3 hours for their appointments, drove home in the pouring rain and Elsie and Reagan were both asleep when we pulled into the garage at 5pm. But back to Katya's appointment....Our sweet four year old weighed in at 40lbs and measured 40.75 inches tall. About 70th percentile for both. She is doing all the things she is suppose to at her age. She was good for the doctor but cried pretty hard for her shots (she got her second MMR and her second Varicella). It was the first time I have had an older kid get shots who knew what was coming. It made me so sad for her as she clung on to me crying, "I don't want shots! I don't want shots!" Reagan got the flu mist in her nose, cried for a while but not too bad. Elsie had shots as well.... it was a cry fest.
Picking Katya up from school!
Katya still loves pre-K and is learning lots. She has gotten more adventurous with her drawings and is cutting well with scissors. She loves tracing letters and organizing our ABC magnets in the right order. At home we are working on spelling and reading simple words like 'dog.' She loves it! I have also been practicing simple math problems with her and she does really well. I don't think kids need to be drilled on academics at this age, but learning is fun and Katya is enjoying it. Craig and I really love learning new things and hope to foster the same curiosity, and life-long love of learning in our children.
