Elizabeth Clare - 15 months
Benjamin Clay - 3 1/2April 29, 2010
April 28, 2010
Miss Elizabeth recently had her 15 month checkup. She is finally 20 pounds (11%), has grown to a whopping 31.25 inches (76%) and has our family’s large noggin at 47.5 cm (89%). She also has inherited our family allergies. Miss E has been sporting a runny nose and puffy eyes off and on as the plants have been blooming. The doctor confirmed it was allergies and we will start on Zyrtec now. Everything else checked out great. She is a healthy, adventurous little girl!
Ellie will be moving to a new classroom later this week. She is transitioning to one nap a day for this new room and has done pretty well. Late mornings can be hard, but a long afternoon nap is a pleasant change of pace for Mom and Dad. There are even days when Ben naps about the same time. Ellie loves her friends at school and loves letting the teachers know what she would like to do. She is enjoying playground time now and loves exploring her new room. During her visits to the new room, Ellie has already peeled off some decorative vinyl clings on the wall and made herself at home!
Ben has done amazingly well since his tonsillectomy. His sleep has improved drastically and he is the quietest sleeper in the house now! It is amazing to see the difference in his energy level and emotional state. Now, he does still have his moments – he is three! But he faces change and daily activities with far more confidence, excitement and zest for life. It is amazing what good sleep can do for a body.
Ben is enjoying the warmer weather and has been learning lots at school about plants, bugs, animals, recycling and much more. He got to raise 5 caterpillars in his classroom and then got to release them on the playground after they changed into butterflies. He planted flowers this week and is eager to see what is going to sprout. He enjoys the varied experiences he gets at his school, at home and with his grandparents. He seems to be on an adventure of some sorts most of the time even if it is just hunting for a lost car in the jungle of toys. :)
