JaCee's 4 year check up

JaCee had her 4 year check.up last week. It went great. She weight's in at a whopping 37lbs. Her weight is in the 70th percentile and her height is in the 90th. She is growing good & checked out great. The saddest part was the vaccinations. She asked me all day if she was going to have to get a shot. I told her I didn't know, because I really wasn't sure...and she would get such a sad face & say, but I don't want one mom. I wish I could have gotten one for her. She did end up needing 3 shots, but we only allow 2 "pokes" per visit, so we'll go back at another time for her one more before her kindergarten registration. (did I really just type that??)

She is still the light of our eyes. Every day she makes us smile & laugh & is still the best big sister I could have ever hoped for. There are day's when Morgen is so ornery to JaCee, I think if I were her....I would push her down or something a 4 year old would do, but JaCee doesn't. She is so patient with her little sister. Some of the things I hear her saying to Morgen:

After Morgen has fallen down --- "Morgen, don't cry --- your tuff. There's no blood. Let's go swing.
After Morgen has hit/pushed JaCee --- "Morgen! Do we do that??? Well, do we? NO! We don't! We don't hit and push! How would you like it it if I did that to you?

You still LOOOOVVVEE your babies. You "lost" your favorite baby Lacey (she was in the dress up tub when we finally found her) so you decided your next baby of choice was my cabbage patch doll I gave to you. Her name is Bobbi Jo & she fits in real new born clothes so I think that was the best part for you....dressing her up.

You love to change your outfits 100 times a day. It drives me crazy.

Your nap time was getting pretty short for a while there & I was afraid the dreaded day of no nap was coming soon --- but as soon as the weather got warmer and you have been outside playing with Morgen, your nap times just went back to the normal 2 hours. You go to bed about 830 or 9pm and get up about 730am. Nap at from 1-3.

(why did I change the tense this post was written in?)

Here you are all dressed up for picture day at school.
