5 1/4 Years...Looking like spring!

We did so many different things this month.  Easter was this month, and I had a lot of Easter egg hunts!  We did one at my preschool and Daddy, Mommy, and Emily got to come.  I found my eggs really fast!  Then we went to Washington and had more egg hunts at Nana Carol and Papa Ron's and at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's.  It was so much fun seeing my cousins.  When we got back home, I got to hunt eggs at Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's house.  I was really upset after all of that because the Easter Bunny didn't come to my house!  Mommy and Daddy explained it was because he knew I wasn't home, but I was really sad about it for days!
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!

Silly girl with a rattle

 I have been wanting her to lay in my bed for a long time!

Holding Emily for the first time since the hospital.  I really liked doing it!
