2 and 4 year Check ups

Kindercare was closed on Monday so I took the day off to be with the kids. We got a bunch of snow, but we had the kids' 2 and 4 year checkups in the morning so we had to brave the elements and head out in the snow!

Here is an update on each of the kids:

Bishop-42 lbs (89%) and 43" (95%). He's healthy and he passed his vision and hearing test, so he's good to go for another year!

Nora-30 lbs (85%) and 36" (94%). She's struggled with her ears the past couple of weeks, but her Dr. thought both tubes were in place and looked good-no infection, no plugged tubes with wax, so she is good to go for another year!

I still find it hard to believe that Bishop is 4 years old already. So far it seems like a great age! His imagination is in full force and he loves for us to tell him stories. Lately he'll request stories from when I was younger. He is still a ball of energy and his excitement for life is amazing! He has a very tender heart and he has become quite the mama's boy the past few months.



He is doing really well in his Pre-K class at "school". His teachers are Miss Janelle and Miss Janelle! :) He's come so far in the past 2 years, which is to be expected, but it's amazing to watch him grow and mature (but don't get me wrong-we still have some work to do)! :) He has come so far with his writing in the past couple of months. He seemed to be a bit behind with his writing, but Miss Janelle worked with him and he's doing awesome now! He's still tracing the letters, but he's doing really well! He has struggled with number recognition, so we've been working on that, but it's not a major concern, just something to keep working on. He's starting drawing more stick people and I feel like he's growing up so much!

From other posts it's obvious that he's really into Spiderman these days and has been for quite awhile now! He loves the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates, but he will watch movies and other shows. Luke gets the kids to watch nature shows and he likes that. He also enjoys building things--with the magnets and legos, it's fun to watch!

As I've posted before-he's so good to his sister and they play really well together! He's got it figured out--he knows how to talk her into what would be best for him! ;)

NoraLina (as her dad calls her) has learned so much recently and is such a honey! She LOVES to sing the ABC's and knows the entire alphabet. She is also pretty good with colors. She'll get them wrong from time to time, but she does get them right at times too!










She LOVES to play with her babies and she takes such good care of them....and she has a lot of them to manage! :) She'll put them to bed, take them for walks (inside now) and she even let one of her babies come out to go sledding with us! :)

She got a few tea sets for her birthday and she LOVES to have tea parties and to make us icecream to eat. She stays pretty busy playing with her food and kitchen. It is amazing to see the difference between  a boy and a girl.

She's doing really well at school as well! One of her favorite things to do is to let her friends play with her hair. Her teachers say she'll sit in a chair for over a 1/2 hour and let her friends play "barbershop" with her.

She has a lot of words, which is really nice and it's helping her to communicate! She still has her moments, but she's very good about telling you "NO THANK YOU", if she doesn't like something. She is very sweet and will say "I wuv you and I miss you" when I'm gone! :) And one of my favorite things she says is her brother's name. She can't say her B's yet....so she calls him ISHOP! and it's not Ishop, it's ISHOP! I need to record that one sometime soon! 

We are very blessed with 2 healthy and happy kids! They are so good for each other. Bishop gets Nora to try more things and enjoy more experiences that she might have otherwise not tried and Nora always reminds Bishop of when he's making a bad decision (NO THANK YOU, ISHOP)!
