I can write my name!

4 year check-upppp

I went in for my 4 year check-upppp (I think emphasing the "p" on this is hilarious) and measured in at 39 inches tall, and 30 pounds. The doctor says I'm growing well and solidly on the 30th percentile, which projects me to grow to 5 foot 3 inches tall. Because I'm growing well, my doctor is not concerned about what she calls an innocent heart murmur, which she believes is temporary due to a growth spurt. I completed my first eye test, but was a little confused by the hearing test. No shots today either - great appointment!

Latest allergy results

My latest allergy test shows that I can eat almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnut/filberts! Woo hoo!

...and my first successful slumber party in the bunk room with Kenzo!

A nice birthday

I had a total of 4 birthday celebrations this year! I had a birthday ceremony at school for the first time. We gathered at circle, and my teacher and I showed everyone a poster of pictures of me at different ages. I held a globe, and walked around the sun 4 times while the entire class counted. I counted my age using the number rods. Then my class sang happy birthday and we celebrated with oatmeal cranberry muffins. Mmm! Two of my friends left early so I asked Mommy if we could drop off muffins at their home. We had a spontaneous playdate where I dressed up as a superhero (Batman)! It was storming pretty hard, so instead of eating at the pizza restaurant as I originally wanted, George and my future in-laws came over for dinner. I love George, and I wrote "I (heart) you!" on my thank you card to him. The heart didn't quite look like a heart; it looked more like "I (pacman) you!" Mommy is bummed that George got a I-love-you note from me before she did!

The next day we had a big dinner with Mommy's side of the family. Mommy made chocolate cupcakes - I had 3, or was it 4? and lots of ice cream. I barely touched my sukiyaki and ham because I needed to make room for all my dessert. I knew I could get away with it on my birthday!

Here is a picture of me and my cousins. (One of them was visiting from D.C. - just for little ol' me?) They're more like uncles to me!

Happy 2008!

May you be always warm and cozy!
