4 Year Check Up

***So I just realized I never posted about Alex's 4 year check up, and we are almost ready for her 5 year check up!  She still talks about the shots from this appointment :(

Alex had her 4 year well visit Wednesday.  We have been talking about it for weeks.  I knew she was going to have shots so I wanted her to be prepared.  She picked out her own bandaids to take and she took her bunny, Princess, to comfort her.  She had a hearing and vision test, then she said she was ready for her shots.  She did much much better than I expected.  The first 2 didn't seem to bother her, the 3rd one she said hurt and the 4th made her cry.  My poor girl.  Her legs were so sore later in the day, she insisted on being carried.  Dr. H said everything looks great! 

She is 36lbs (53rd percentile) and 41.5 inches tall (83rd percentile).

Mini Olympics

On Saturday Alex attended her gymnastic clubs Mini Olympics.  It was seriously cute (and long)!  She has been taking gymnastics since she was she turned two.  It's crazy to think she has been doing it more than half of her life!

 

This year she developed a fear of the bars, but she made us so proud by participating in every event and doing a great job!

 

 I hate that this picture turned out fuzzy because it perfectly shows her concentration face.  I love it!

 When all the kids finished each event they came out in their tee shirts with their trophies!

 They all had their names announced as they stood on the podium.  Alex has decided for her kindergarten year, she wants to stick with gymnastics and drop dance.  Hopefully this will be the first of many Mini Olympics!

 Alex and her coach for the last year and a half, Konea.  This was her last session to teach, she is starting her internship and will now be our number 1 go to babysitter!  Konea did such an amazing job with Alex.  She pushed her, but not to the point of being scared, she helped her overcome different fears that came up during classes and promised her each week that she would never let her fall!  Alex adores her!
