Always looking cute in her OOTD!
The cutest thing she wears though? Her sunshiny smile! 🙂
Time for your checkup!
I took Samantha for her 5 year check up yesterday and she continued her streak of really not liking going to her yearly checkups! This time she knew she had her 5 year shots coming and that was causing a lot of stress for her. I kept encouraging her and loving on her and we got through it – but not without some crying and screaming during the shots. Overall, she did just fine and we got a great report from Dr. Walley!
She is 43 inches tall and weights 44.2 lbs. At her last checkup she was 41 inches tall and 40.6 lbs. They’ve redone the charts and this puts her at 58th% in height and 75th% in weight.
Spencer at 5 was 43 and 1/4 inches tall and 43.6 lbs.
Maxwell at 5 was 42 and 3/4 inches tall and 36 lbs.
Samantha had no smiles for anyone and very little to say to both the nurse and Dr. Walley!
They also gave her a paper dress which she wanted nothing to do with!
This was right before shots – look at that face! ha!
She survived the shots, got over it quickly, and was happy with her reward of an Icee and a new Polly Pocket!
I sure do love my strong-willed, healthy, growing girl!!
Pearly whites
My crew got clean sets of chompers last week! They all got good reports from the dentist and Spencer even found out that his two front teeth are loose! I don’t think he’s stopped wiggling them since!
Since Samantha won’t wear her hair anyway besides a ponytail, we tried to do an extra high ponytail so she could still lay down flat on the chair. I think it was a success!
The dentist even complimented them on how well behaved they were and said was a treat it was to have kids like them come in! A momma sure loves to hear that! Always happy for good dentist reports!
Fridays are my favorite
I know it’s Monday but you can’t beat Friday! On Fridays, Samantha doesn’t have school and I sure do love getting to hang with her all day! She has gymnastics in the morning…
then we get lunch together and then we just get to hang out!
By the way, this is how Samantha likes to hang out these days!! ha!
I love my Friday buddy!
Sliding door life
A few weeks ago I got rear-ended. The kids thankfully weren’t in the car, I was fine, and the guy that hit me had insurance so, overall, not that bad. I had to get a new rear bumper and while my car was in the shop Samantha’s dream came true and we got a car with a sliding door, aka a minivan!!
I can’t say I was pumped about cruising around in a minivan but, I gotta admit, that push button sliding door is pretty nice!! Samantha LOVED it!
Sadly (for some) we only had the car two days.
Back to regularly scheduled SUV programming now!
Have a great weekend!
