Off to School!!!

It was a BIG day for us September 1, 2015...ADI STARTED 4K! Wait...WHAT? Our baby girl started school? How did that happen? She was so very excited and did AWESOME from morning to night and the big adjustment of all the hustle and bustle of the morning routine!

 

I thought it would be a great tradition to start every school year, especially elementary, by having them fill in the blank of "when I grow up I want to be...." This year Adi knew right away what she wanted to be and did not hesitate when I asked her to fill in the blank. "When I grow up I want to be a doctor who fixes kids" was her response! So, I asked her why? Her immediate response was..."because they fixed me mommy" Now if that doesnt pull at the heartstrings, I dont know what would! :)

 

 Miss Ryleigh was so very excited for her big sister, but asked many times throughout the morning where her sissy is and when she would be home!

 She jumped on the bus like a pro and was SO very happy to tell me that she did NOT have to wear a seatbelt or be in a carseat! There will come a day when mom has to give up the 5-point harness but for now, she's being buckled as tight as possible!

 She was ready for lunch by the time she got off the bus at 12:25. Hopefully she will be back to daycare by about noon so she isnt quite so hungry!

Next year it's Ry Ry!

Healthy

Yesterday, June 30, 2015, Miss Ryleigh Jean attended her 3 year well baby checkup. She usually goes to her pediatrician with her daddy because he has Wednesday off work but this time I wanted to take her because the girls' pediatrician is retiring. We are very sad about this news, but we love our clinic and know we will find someone great! Anyway, our nurse, Autumn was STUNNED with Ryleigh's behavior. She said, now this is not the little girl I am used to seeing! Yea, that is because MOMMY is here and not daddy I told her. We couldnt get weight, height, temp, blood pressure, nothing because Ry decided it would be great to throw a complete and udder temper tantrum the ENTIRE visit! Good news is, mommy was very persistent and forced all of these things.

Weight: 29.2 pounds (34%)
Height: 37.2" (54%)

 The newest word is we have a very animated and persistent 3 year old! We didnt really need to be told this but at least we arent crazy when we call her our wild child!

Love you to the moon and back little princess! You are an amazing little girl and keep us on our toes, which is a good thing! Just remember this persistence with your calculus class in high school! :)

THREE!!!!!!!

Our baby girl is 3!!! This one is our little firecracker and I dont say that lightly! She knows what she wants and she stops at nothing to get it. I suppose this is a good AND bad thing. As long as she is independent and strong, we are happy. She is such a little snuggle bug. Any time of any day she is right there to give hugs and kisses and we LOVE that about her. She is sweet, she knows when to say she's sorry and she knows how to push her big sister's buttons. Mom and dad's too! :)  Our little Ryleigh Jean is one of a kind and so very special. We love you to the moon and back "little button"! Happy THIRD birthday to you, beautiful!
