kindergarten check-up

Easton had his kindergarten check-up last week. gulp. I can't believe he will be in kindergarten next year!


He did really good, but I think we talked too much about the shots because he was so nervous. Luckily, he only had to get 3.


The nurse did the eye exam first and as we were standing next to the chart she was asking him what the shapes were. He knew all of them, even the plus sign, and she was surprised by that because she said usually kids say "a t turned sideways," or "an x turned sideways."


He passed the eye exam with flying colors, while I was standing next to him squinting trying to see the chart. Yay! Hopefully he will not have to get glasses as soon as I did and will have his daddy's eyes.




They did an iron test and he did not like that, but was brave. Then he had to pee in a cup, and I think that was a bit traumatic for him, just because Keagan had to come in the bathroom with us and kept saying, "Oh, so disgusting!"




He is a whopping 36.16 lbs (15.38%)


and 41.5 inches (19.47 %)


I thought his percentile in length would be higher, just because he seems to have had a growth spurt lately, but I was wrong.




All in all, he is a healthy and amazing kid.


Keagan's belated 3 year old check-up is this week. That should be interesting.

thoughts for the day

there has got to be a better way to drain cooked hamburger than the way I am doing it.

when your head is pounding and every noise the kids make makes you want to yell, it is okay to take one of your husband's extra-strength ibuprofen.

yay for grandmas that come and take your kids on an errand so the only noise you hear while you cook dinner is the sizzle of the food.

my Tupperware cupboard makes me cringe every time I open it.

I am pretty sure my kids have more friends than I do.

I wish it was warm, yet when it gets too warm, I will wish it to be colder like it was today.

why is printer ink so expensive? seriously.
