Happy 4 Years!!

Since Hallie turned 4 last month it was once again time for her yearly checkup. She finally broke the 30lb mark(30lbs 6 oz to be exact) with her shirt and pants on this ment she is also in the 12% which has never happened either. She is also 38.8 inches tall(26%). We just switched pediatricians, still trying to find one I like, she came in and first asked if we had any questions. We talked about transitioning to boosters from a five point. And then the big question was what her thoughts were about sending Hallie to Kindergarten next year. The preschool we chose for her takes kids 3-5 but they don't divide them by age but by ability. Since about the first month of school they have moved her into the kindergarten room. She has been excelling nad her preschool teachers have said if we try to put her in preschool again next year she will probably be bored. The thing I am most surprised by is how eager she is to learn. She is doing addition and subraction, can now in a matter of 6 weeks write and spell her name, and is getting better at writing the alphabet everyday. She loves homework and wants to do it the second we get home from school(I hope that continues). Initially the dr said they recommend making them the oldest and not the youngest but long story short at the end of our appointment she said she woud actually recommend we start her early. She said we woudl have a hard time keeping her in preschool for another year. Im still unsure i guess we will see. Also since school has started she has found a real love for art. She will sit at the table for hours and color or paint. She is so social and loves making new friends with pretty much any and everyone she comes in contact with. She is loving dance class and seems to be picking up more this year so far than she did last year. She is also extremely observant. The other day on the way home form shoppig she informed me that she thought she could find every letter in the alphabet before we got home, I was a little sceptical, but I shouldn't have been she toatlly did it. She also loves to play I spy with my little eye. She is wearing size 4 for the length both in the sleevs and the pants length. Although she could still wear a size smaller but they look a little floody. She wears a shoes size 7 or 8 depending on the brand. She loves her new little nike shoes. When we were in the store trying shoes on she had to run around the isle to test them out. She ultimately picked the ones she did because she said they made her the fastest.Her favorite show is still Team Umizoomi. She still loves to sing and read. She picks up on sings pretty quickly and after only a few times can sing a song pretty much word for word. She still naps for a couple hours each day which makes her a more happy and reasonable child.  She is completely a mini mom and loves Gracie to death. She is such a big helper to me especially since Matt has been gone so much. She put away all of her laundy and makes her bed sometimes without even being asked. She is very good about including Grace and usually wants her to do everything with her. Usually first thing in the morning she crawls in bed and cuddles with me. She reminds me to read my scriptures while she listens and then we take turns sayingour morning prayers. It never ceases to amaze me the glimpses of heaven this little ones gives me. She helps me keep focus. And brings so much joy into our lives What a blessing this little girl is to us.

 Oh how I love these 2 sweet girls and how they love each other
