Animal Week
One of our things in our envelope this month was to have animal week. We did it last week. We went to Harps, the zoo, read books, watched movies, played games, and ate animal chicken nuggets. We also talked about each family members favorite animal, where it lived, what it ate, and what it looked like. The kids really enjoyed doing the activities and enjoyed the movies about real animals.
Girls' Well Visits and Sleep Study
Wednesday, January 8th, Brian took Macie and Lilah to see Dr. V for their well visits. Here are the stats: Macie is 42 3/8 inches tall and weighs 45.5 pounds; Lilah is 33 3/4 inches tall and weighs 26 pounds 12 ounces.
Macie was a brave girl even though she had to get Kindergarten shots and a finger prick. She talked Dr. V's ear off and told him she loves to exercise as much as she can and eat fruits and veggies. That makes me a proud mama! We have been really concerned about Macie's sleep....or lack thereof. She isn't sleeping well at all. She goes to sleep fine, but is up and down all night. We are wondering if her emotional outbursts are related to her not sleeping enough. Dr. V agreed that this was a big concern and wanted us to watch her for a week to rule out sleep apnea. We called back a week later and told him we didn't think that was the issue. He ordered a sleep study and we are waiting on the call to set that up. She doesn't go back until next year.
Lilah didn't have to get any shots, but is not a fan of going to the doctor. He was impressed that she is fully potty trained and thought she was doing great. He commented how after the referral to the ENT she hasn't had a single ear infection. Hopefully, he didn't jinx us! She got a good report and doesn't have to go back until 3!

Epiphany Party
Last night, Brian and I went to my school’s annual Epiphany Party at Hornville Tavern. Grandma was kind enough to come and stay with the kids. We had a great time and I laughed more than I have in while. After dinner, we went to hang out at Brandi and Brian’s house. We stayed out past midnight! When we got home, I chatted with mom a bit before going to bed. It was so nice to hang out with friends and have a good time!
