Well...and Not so well

Miss Sophia had her SIX year well check on Wednesday!  Her appointment went great....no tears...no shots....just an overall good report!!!  I always like to compare stats from the year before...but I guess things went so well this year... I was a bit too relaxed and forgot to write down her new height!  I do know that last year she weighed 40 pounds and this year she weighed in at a healthy 47!  This girl deserves a good long healthy summer....she had her share of yuckies during the school year!

At her five year check...

And this year...all grown up and soon to be a FIRST grader...



Can you tell what she really wanted me to get in this picture???? YEP... her SPARKLY shoes finally came in the mail.  I still really like the plain pink ones....and you can see it in her face when she puts these on that they are not the most comfortable ( a little stiff), but she would never admit it.  She wanted these so badly... I think she would sleep in them if I let her!

So I tried to get a picture of both of the newly dressed sets of tootsies....but this is all I could get before my escapee tried to run off...


By the way...those pretty red toes....(not mine....)  I wish I could say they were...but mine are a sorry sight these days!!!

As for the "not so well..." poor Mr. J.  This little boy has had a really tough go this year!  I will never forget holding him in my arms the night he was born and listening to his birth mother tell me about her family and her other children.  She told me they all had horrible allergies.  I thought...."What a perfect fit...we can handle that....we all have horrible allergies in our house too" (I thought!!!)  But boy was his birthmama right.....this guy does have HORRIBLE allergies.  We've been fighting his 8 sneezes in a row multiple times a day since he was an infant.  We've been fighting yucky noses, sinus infections, and croup far too many times to count.

This was inevitable....

Introducing... THE NEBULIZER!


Poor guy... he does not like his breathing treatments every 4 hours.  But hopefully in time he will get a little relief...and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this is not the beginnings of asthma.  Thank you Handy Manny for helping us get through these treatments! :)
