We took the kiddos in for their 4.5 year old Pediatric visit today. I CANNOT believe that we register them for Kindergarten NEXT MONTH! Where has the time gone? No, seriously, where? Weren't they just learning how to crawl last week?
Practicing the BIG KID line up!

They LOVE to visit Dr. Farrell and his entire staff. They love it so much, they weren't even afraid of the booster shots today! For REALS! We were so proud of them and so proud of the latest stats too. We've come a long way baby.

Dr. Farrell was pleased and giggling as he gave us the latest numbers..."Well, you have one in the 90th percentile (Molly) and one in the 10th percentile (Libby). Russ and Ally are smack in the middle at the 40th and 50th percentiles. It's truly fantastic." We LOVE how different they all are, inside and out!
In other news, they passed the hearing and vision exams with flying colors. Also, all 4 are well above average for their age developmentally- not bad for our little preemies. It's amazing what 4.5 years and a great early intervention team can do. Truly amazing.
After a fabulous, and VERY LAID BACK visit (what a change from the old days with 4 crying babies), we gave Dr. Farrell big hugs and headed out the door sporting HUGE smiles. All this linking back to old post is making me teary eyed. Man the time goes fast.

AND... guess who just happened to stop by?! The BIG MAN himself, SANTA CLAUS!! The kids were SHOCKED to see him and even more surprised when he knew they had been to see Dr. Farrell.

-hey it's an improvement from the years past!
Happy Wednesday! We're getting ready to make some great new memories with our NW adventure. Travel safely everyone and enjoy all the fun this season brings. Sending you lots of love from our family to yours.
Oh my, they are getting SO big SO fast! I'm only a reader of your blog (a long time reader) and I can't figure out where the time has went, so I'm sure it's a million times greater of a feeling for you as their momma!
ReplyDeleteGlad the visit with Dr. F went well and all the kids and happy and healthy!
They look so grown up! It's crazy!!!! Did I mention how much I love their haircuts and bangs? Adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou know it is funny because you always hear how fast kids grow up, but you don't believe it because as a kid time always seemed to drag along. It isn't until you have your own kids that you realize how fast it really does go. My daughter is in high school now and I am still in complete awe at where the time has gone.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, safe travels and a very Merry Christmas to all of you.
Could you ask for any better Christmas gift than 4 wonderfully healthy kiddos?! After such a tiny start, congrats on your beauties!
ReplyDeleteyeah for a great visit! My two had their 4 year well check a few weeks ago and I'm certain my daughter made all the kids in the waiting room run out the door thanks to her SCREAMING over shots!! omg!
ReplyDeleteHave a very Merry Christmas and safe travels!
