Dallin just had his 4 year well check. He is not usually too fond of check ups. He did rather well with stickers as bribes. He is in 66 percentile and healthy as can be. He is 41 inches tall, and 37 pounds. He refused to take his shirt off for the doctor and really disliked the lady giving shots. He has discovered germs now. He feels the need to wash any toy Leah puts in her mouth. He will not share his water bottle with Joshua or Leah. If they happen to drink it, he will go in and wash the lid and fill it up with more water. I just love the different personalities of my kids.
Joshua is gearing up for Kindergarten. We have uniforms bought and now we need to start gathering supplies. I can't believe he is going to be a Kindergartner. Time flies! He has quite the imagination. He gets frustrated easily while practicing reading, but I think that is mainly due to me taking time away from his play. He is very much enjoying his freedom this summer. School may be an adjustment.
Leah is getting so big. She is saying quite a few words now. She can point to several body parts when asked. She loves to play with her brothers. She loves to walk and not be carried. She does not like riding in the shopping cart, she wants to walk.
I did mention the boys have quite the imagination. They have had it in their heads that they wanted to go on a camp out with no grown ups. They took the Cabelos catalog and circled everything that they would need for the camp out. They told me they would not bring carrots only fruits that they liked. He wanted to bring out kitchen, tv, kindle, phones, and all our food that he likes. He also informed me he would not be back for Sunday. I began to be worried they would try to sneak out and attempt this. On the day of their camp out Joshua woke up at 5:45 and started to pack the Wii and games. I know he knew he couldn't really go, but he was just getting so excited about the possibility. We compromised on the situation by setting up the tent in the back yard. I was not allowed near it, unless delivering lunch or dinner. They went to sleep around 8:30 PM and did really well until around 11 PM and came in needing a drink. Michael asked if they wanted him to sleep out there. Dallin did, Joshua was too tired to care. Michael slept with the boys out there until about 5 AM and snuck back in the house. I can't believe how independent they want to be at the ages of 4 and 5. Crazy
Joshua also has this other fantasy where he would love it if he could stay home all day, while I went to school. He said I could go to bed at 7:30 PM like he has to. I asked if he would cook dinner. He said he would and only the things that he liked. He also said he would watch TV all day, and have friends over every day. He sure is one entertaining kid.
