Horray for "No Shots"

We had a busy day yesterday!

The sun wasn't blaring down on us yesterday morning. It was only 85 degrees so we decided to take Sadie for a walk. Sophia rode her bike. Lilly walked (and complained that she had to carry her Lamby and her diary, but I warned her that if she brought them she would have to carry them the whole way). Sadie was ready for a long walk, but in the end we had to cut it short. Sophia intentionally fell off her bike twice when she started to get too hot. I could tell she was "melting" and Lilly was complaining that she was sleepy and that the bugs were chasing her...so we turned around and headed back for home. We really hadn't made it that far.

When we got home, they wanted to cool off and run around in the sprinklers. They put on some bathing suits while I brought out all the painting supplies and the easel so they could paint when they got sick of the water. It turns out they decided to paint first and then run in the water.

Sophia lasted a lot longer than Lilly in the sprinklers. The water was too cold for Lilly's taste. Sophia asked for her helmet and a watering can. Fun ensued....

Both of the girls had their annual doctor check-up in the afternoon.

We went to the appointment not knowing if any shots would be necessary for either of them. I didn't remember Sophia getting any shots at her 3-yr check-up so I figured Lilly was in the clear. I really had no idea about Sophia. She got lucky and didn't need any shots either.

They both passed their eye exams with flying colors. Lilly got a little "beep" happy when she had her hearing exam, but the nurse & the doctor both told me that Lilly was only their third 3-yr old to actually finish the eye and the hearing exams to completion.

Sophia measured at exactly 48 inches tall or 4 feet. She weighed 62.2 pounds...both put her in the "off the charts" percentile (greater than 97%).

Lilly measured at 3 feet 2 inches tall (38 inches). She weighed 34 pounds. The doctor said she was in the 70th percentile.

Man, they are growing so fast!
