So, it has been over a month since I posted and I had to make a list as to what all I should post on! I have so much information, I will break it down into several posts. I will start off with the whole "kids say the darndest thing" piece with funny things that come out of Colleen's mouth!
Colleen has started saying "Mommy (or Daddy), you crack me up!" and breaks out in laughter!
I started Colleen on a multi-vitamin a couple of weeks ago and I told her she would get big and strong from taking them. She ate the first one, immediately looked over her body, then looked up at me and says "Mommy, am I bigger yet?" So cute and so sweet! She now asks me most days if she is bigger yet and I tell her she grows a little bit each day!
Since she is getting bigger, she is changing clothes sizes. Being four now...she is not only in 4T clothes, but just plain size 4! This becomes nice because usually that means they make jeans and pants in SLIM sizes so they fit my SLIM girl, but are also longer than the regular 4T for my tall girl! Plus, when you venture out of toddler sizes, your selection of clothes becomes much bigger and it is much more fun when shopping for her! Sometimes there are too many options to pick from though!!
She is involved in AWANAs at our church and one of the recent projects involved using some baby pictures. I found one picture where she is just a few months old laying on her tummy on a black cloth with a black backdrop. She looked at it and said "Look mommy, I was flying in space as a baby!"
Also, with her and our involvement with church, it has made Colleen want to be more like mom! For her birthday, she specifically asked for a bible just like mom...but pink! Needless to say, she got her wish!
Since turning four on October 2, she has decreased saying MOMMY and says MOM more and more! I am NOT happy with that and want my baby that says MOMMY back!
This past Friday, she had her 4-year old check-up. If you have friends with children, you may have heard that the 4-year check-up is a horrible experience and boy are they right. It started out great with a hearing and vision test...then came the needles - FOUR of them! It took three of us holding down our little 35 lbs girl to give her these shots and the entire time, she is yelling "MOMMY, DON'T LET THEM POKE ME"!!! It was brutal, not only for Colleen, but also for mommy. I almost started crying with her!! But, she is doing great. She is holding to her 75% on height and 50% on weight.
Well, cutting it off for now! I hope to be back tomorrow for the next update!
