More on Turning Four

I took Sophie to see our pediatrician on Veteran's Day for her four year check up. My sweet girl endured a hearing test, a vision screening, a hemoglobin finger prick and five, yes five, shots. Poor thing. Those shots are so traumatic for both of us! She was quickly distracted afterwards with the lure of stickers and a trip to Toys R Us. She is 42.5 inches tall (95th percentile! Thanks to Daddy) and weighs 4o pounds (80th percentile).

Sophie is going to preschool full time now, and she seems to be doing well. I think she is the youngest one in her pre-k class! She has homework just like Madeline, and she is pretty good about completing it. She loves writing her first name and is working on writing her last name. I recently learned about some transitional kindergarten programs being piloted in our school district this year that I am really excited about. This program is only offered to students with Sept., Oct., and Nov. birthdays, and I think it might be a good fit for Sophie next fall.
