Gavin 3 yr check,Olivia's 7 yr check

Gavin celebrated his 3rd birthday on Saturday! He wanted a pirate party! The kids all had a blast.
Today, Gavin and Olivia had their yearly exams.
Olivia is a healthy 7 yr old! She is 4ft 23 inches and weighs 59lbs. The Dr Said she checked out great!
Gavin's exam went just as well! His tubes are in the canal of his ear and we go to the E.N.T next week to have them rechecked.
Gavin is 37 inches and weighs 31 lbs.
The Dr asked me if Gavin spoke in complete sentences and before he could finish, Gavin was talking his ear off. It was funny! The Dr said, "Well, that answers my question!"
Gavin still likes to take naps. It amazes me! He will wear himself out and then telle me, "I tired mommy, I want to take a nap now!" Let's see how long that lasts. He is also a snuggler. Definitely a mommy's boy, too.

Olivia will be dancing in her recital soon! She is also going to be bridging from Daisies to Brownies in Girl scouts and playing ball this year. One busy summer! :)

The kids all had Dental exams this past Monday. Gavin's first time ever in the Dental chair! Olivia and Channing went into rooms all by themselves and I stayed put with Gavin. I was able to walk back and forth to each room to see how they were all doing. Olivia has her first teeny tiny cavity on a back baby tooth. The Dentist said that it's just barely starting to form but they would like to fill it before it gets worse. They explained to Olivia that they were going to put her tooth to sleep so they could fix it. From now on around here, there will be more flossing! I am horrible at remembering to floss the kids' teeth.
Channing's visit went well. The Dentist said he has perfectly spaced teeth and therefore, will not need braces in the future *so far*. She said that his teeth looked great and this time he was actually able to get his mouth wide enough for them to take Xrays. Last time, he choked and gagged on it. He was so proud to show me the picture of his teeth! Channing also has his first loose tooth. The Dentist said it's just now starting to wiggle! Hard to believe.
Gavin's first dental experience was funny. He was very talkative to the Dental assistant. She was trying to count his teeth and it took her 3 tries before he finally stopped talking long enough for her to count! He has all of his teeth in and she said he has a deep overbite. when he smiles, all of his bottom teeth are hiding. When the Dentist came in, the first thing she said was, "Start saving money now bc Olivia and Gavin are for sure going to be seeing Orthodontists when they are older."
They did not do a cleaning on Gavin this time around. They said the first visit is usually for them to get used to the idea.
Gavin is also doing very well in his big boy underwear! The last of his diapers are out of the house! He has only had a few accidents at night but that is it, and the 2 times he peed the bed were because I had forgotten to get him up one last time in the middle of the night to go. Otherwise, he is doing awesome! It's hard to believe that our last baby is no longer a baby. For the past 6 years, I have been changing diapers.
This coming Saturday we are having Gavin's birthday party. On Monday, Gavin and Olivia will be going to the Dr for their yearly exams.

Last night, Olivia had her Best friend, Emily stay overnight! This was Olivia's first time ever to have a friend from school stay over! They were so good! I thought for sure I would be up all night with them and it wasn't that way at all! The girls were so good and quiet that I had to check on them several times to make sure they were ok! They spent a lot of time coloring pictures, playing the DS, playing Barbies! They all sat through an entire movie! It was a fun night!
Today, Emily and Olivia went to a Daisy outting. After they dropped Olivia back home, we enjoyed the rest of the Spring day playing at the Park! We came home afterward and flew a kite, rode bikes and blew bubbles! :) I love days like today! :)
