Kindergarten Graduation

Kinley graduated from Kindergarten this morning. They sang songs and then she got to walk across the bridge. After, we had juice and cookies in her classroom. She got the best illustrator award. Ms. Blackburn said that Kinley was an awesome drawer but Ms. Blackburn is to so she must have learned from the best!

Yesterday the kids all had doctors appointments. Taylor had to go get his weight and height checked because of his shortness. He is still short, most kids grow 2 inches a year and he has only grown 3/4 of an inch. He is 47 1/2 inches tall and 48 pounds. The doctor said she wanted him to come back when he turns 10 in a few months and then she will decide about doing a bone scan.

Kinley is growing like crazy! She grew almost 4 inches this year!!! She should share some of that with Taylor. She is 44 inches tall and 41 pounds. If she keeps growing like this she will pass Taylor in a few months. :( Her little problem that she has surgery on last summer is all better! After she had surgery we still had a lot of problems with it but when she started gymnastics and doing the splits all the time it fixed it!! The doctor said she was going to start recommending gymnastics since this is a common thing in girls. She said Kinley's was one of the worst she has ever seen and she was even going to tell the surgeon to recommend gymnastics to!!

Syler must not be our kid! He is tall!! Well still only in the 10-25% for his height but that is tall for us! He is 32 inches, the nurse even checked it twice because she didn't think it could be right that he grew 3 inches in 6 months, but he did! Both Taylor and Kinley weren't that tall until they were 2 and also didn't hit his weight until after they were 2. He is 22 pounds, 10th% and he has a huge head 75th%. He still is small but not as small as the other kids were and the doctor was happy he has grown so much. He eats all day so he definitely should be growing.
Syler was on Claritin for his allergies but it wasn't helping. He was throwing up every day to get rid of all that snot. A few weeks ago I changed him to Zyrtec, which I figured wouldn't work because it didn't help the other kids, but he has stopped throwing up and is doing much better. I wonder if it is really the medicine or if his allergies are just not as bad. The medicine also helps with most of his skin problems, every once in awhile his skin will go crazy, but mostly it's fine. He is doing much better now that we have found stuff that works! He did have strep and two ear infections a couple weeks ago but is all better now.
