Papa Rick and Nana Peggy came into town too this month. It was a lot of fun seeing them.
I had my 5 year doctor appointment too, and I now weigh 44 pounds and am 45 3/4 inches! Dr. Prica said I am a healthy growing girl. I did have to get some shots, and I screamed so loud! I also threw some major fits later that day about taking off the Band-Aids, even though I usually take off my own without any problems. I know I have one more shot to get before summer school and I am already dreading it.
This month, I got to have a play date with Carrie, Auntie Heather came for a visit and played outside with me, and we had my cousin Jonathan's birthday party. That week, we also went to a Cardinals' baseball game. They lost though-bummer! Daddy's school played at Busch Stadium right after. We had a lot of fun while we were there. We accidentally drove past the stadium and into Illinois, and when we came back into Missouri, I said, "We are not in Illinois anymore because I see the American flag!" I have also been learning the states song and I don't quite know all of the names. I asked Mommy if "Fleecy" was a state. She said it was called "Louisiana". I also thought Connecticut was pronounced "And then it cut".
I helped Mommy plant our garden too. We planted sunflowers, carrots, green beans, peas, cucumbers, squash, cantaloupe, and watermelon. I had so much fun helping! We started on a project for my teachers and painted some flower pots and planted flowers in them. I love helping and know that flowers grow because their roots need water.
I am doing so many grown-up things now too! I found out I am going to go to Shepard for kindergarten and summer school! I am so excited because I have a couple of friends that will be going there too! I walked to Wal-Mart with my class this month too for a surprise for Mother's Day for Mommy. We bought glass jars and made a candle with sprinkles in it. I can now make my own peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I like doing things myself. I am signed up to do the Kids on Track this summer again and get to start logging my miles soon.
I have been coughing a lot this month and ended up throwing up in bed one night from all the drainage. I hope this cold goes away soon. That week, I just wasn't myself. I was aggressive with other students. I was fighting over a baby doll one day and pushed a girl and she ended up hitting her head on a table. Two days later, I was arguing whether a plant was a weed or a flower and thought the girl was going to yell at me and I hit her. Mommy and Daddy were very disappointed. Thank goodness my behavior has been better this week!
5 1/4 Years Old!
