First I'll start with my baby girl turning 5, starting kindergarten, and signing up for dance class (again) all in the same week. Eek!! Talk about an emotionally charged mama! It was hard but we are in week 3 of everything and I feel like we have a good system going. She started dance for the second time and I was terrified how it was going to turn out. To my surprise it was great, she was great! We tried this back in 2011 and she just wasn't ready and I had to pull her from the class. Fortunately she didn't even seem to mind or care! HA! I am so proud of my little grade school er, can't believe my baby is in school!! She turned 5 on August 24th and it, for some reason, hit me hard. I just can't seem to wrap my head around my sweet baby girl being so big!
We had her
birthday party and Woodland Mound Park and it turned out to be a perfect
day :) She wanted to have a princess party with all the princesses, not
just one! I basically copied exactly what my sister did with her
daughter back in July. Hey, when it's a good idea, well, it's a good
idea! :) We brought pizza from Gramma's for everyone with some chips and
pop to drink. After playing, eating and opening her gifts we all went
over the the water park area and I paid for all the kids to get in.
Uncle Steve was even nice enough to buy all the kids ice cream cones
too! She had such a blast and I'm so happy it didn't end up raining or
anything to ruin the day. I didn't have a back up plan!! haha...that's
how we Smith's roll :)
At her five year check up she weighed 49lbs and is 44 inches tall. She passed both the hearing and vision test, I was scared for her on the vision, I couldn't even see the chart! haha...I'm pretty blind, although I did have my contacts in, hmmm, anyways! She did awesome :) She was a little confused with the star BUT in all fairness, from far away that could look like a fuzzy circle! She looked at me and I told her I was sorry but Mommy can't tell her the answers! After that we went back to the room and talked to the doctor. She looked and sounded great so now we just have to go back in a few weeks for her to get the flu shot. Hate having to give them so many shots but I know it's for the best.
Now for my little firecracker, my baby boy! :) He turned 3 back in March and just can't wait for his next birthday! He tells me everyday something new that he wants me to buy him for his birthday. Little does he know that won't be for another 6 months but oh well. So as for him, he is just one giant ball of energy that NEVER stops!! :) I mean that in the most loving way ;) He is obsessed with monster trucks at the moment. He was on the TNMT for awhile, he still likes them but not as much as monster trucks. Well, at least not for right now. He also loves construction vehicles. He gets so excited when we pass any trucks working on the road. That seems more often than not right now because they are working on every road it seems like around here. He loves his sissy to pieces and wants to be a big boy too :) I'm so happy we finally got him potty trained!! Whoa, that was a task! Thank goodness it happened at the beginning of summer too. So glad I didn't have to buy the swimmer diapers again!
As for my third little one. Well, SHE's still in Mommy's belly :) We just found out yesterday that our third child is going to be a baby girl! I was so surprised because I was so sure that it was going to be a boy. I think it had a lot to do with my son though. My poor little guy :( It is all girls, and everywhere! He doesn't have one little boy his age to play with. All the kids that I have watched over the years, girls, girls and more girls!! I was really wanting a boy for him but in all fairness this baby will be a little less than 4 years younger than him and they won't be playing together for at least a few years. By then he will be in school and playing sports. He is so mad about it though! haha...when the ultra sound lady (not sure what her official title is) said it was a girl he got so upset. He said "NO, that's my brother in there!" haha...I said" No honey, it's a girl!" He just kept shaking his head no and saying their was a boy in there for him. Poor little guy, he just didn't understand :( When we got in the car to leave I tried to tell him how he can be his little sister's protector and big brother. He still wasn't having it but I know he will come around. He's going to be so excited, especially when he gets to meet her :) January 21 st is going to be here before we know it! I love my family so much!! :)
