4 Years Old

On the 15th we went for Addy's 4 year old checkup.  I'm not sure if it was good or bad, but I had told her ahead of time that she would have to get shots.  She was well prepared for the visit, but all morning she was saying  that she didn't want shots.  There were moments of tears.  She did great once we got there though, got 4 shots and totally milked it for the next couple of days.  There were moments when she couldn't walk because her legs "hurt" and I think everyone we talked to heard about the 4 shots she got!

Here are her 4 year old stats:  height was 3 ft 3 inches and weight was 35 lbs.  She also had a vision and screening test which she passed.  Not really sure what the test was, the nurse took her to another room to do the test so we didn't get to watch.  But no excuses for her when we ask her a question and she ignores us, or we ask her to get something and she says she can't find it but it is right in front of her face! 

In honor of her 4th birthday I asked her what some of here favorites were and here they are

princess:  Ariel, Aurora and Belle (apparently there isn't 1 favorite right now!)
food:  macaroni and cheese
drink: milk
snack: bunny crackers
color: pink
things to do: play with Barbies and paint
story: "Ruby and Max:  The Froggy Prince"
song: she wouldn't tell me anything here, the response was "the wonder woman song" -- no clue what that is and she wouldn't sing it for me, apparently it is some yet to be made up song!
thing to do at school:  play on the computer
tv show:  Hi 5
couple of categories she created:
favorite sea animal - mermaid and sea horse, she did clarify that a mermaid wasn't an animal, but I'm not sure how you classify it exactly so I'm leaving it here!
favorite farm animal - again, 2 tied for 1st - sheep and horse
favorite animal in the house - "Super Star"

Here are some pics from her actual birthday, we had a fun time at the zoo!

Incredibly adorable baby elephant! 

We've been going for 4 years but she has never played on the playground until today. 

Addy crawled through the tunnel all by herself but wouldn't look my direction when she popped up.  She told me it was because her shoe fell off and she was trying to get it back on.

Addy took a pic of me and Ella.
