Visits

Our friend Vinnie!
Courtney showed up this morning with Molly and Vinnie for a visit. Garrett and he are being a couple of pluggy boys.
So adorable! He's getting so big. He's almost 9 months old.

A visit to the Doctor's office
Garrett is 15 months old today so that means another well child check complete with immunizations.
He is an ounce and a half shy of 25 lbs and is 2ft 7 in. Which is in the 56th percentile and 51st percentile nationally. His head circumference however is pretty close to the 99th percentile at 19.7 in. I think he has a bigger head than Danika!
These two don't look alike or anything.

Classroom visit
Posing at the bottom of the steps on our way in to meet the teachers and see the classroom.
There was proof everywhere that she has leaped her final hurdle and she is officially in Head Start.
Building puzzles with Miss Shanna.
Finished and proud of herself.

Great room organization!
The kids in this class are very fortunate. There is so much to learn and do.
Chores will rotate so that everyone participates.
Grampa Harlan's favorite part. He loves schedules!

Checkin' out the playground
One of the gates was open so we got to walk around on the playground. I really like the amount of security that's in place for these little ones to stay safe.
It's going to be a balancing act getting everyone out the door and delivered to their various schools but everyone is so pumped about this school year. Even our boys which is a rare and welcome treat.
I think Miss Danika is going to settle into her routine just fine.

The teachers seemed quite taken with her personality so hopefully they have the energy to keep up with Danika the Dynamo when she gets to talking and making up stories. Hmmmm I wonder where she could have gotten that trait. Certainly not an aunt that she resembles.

Nice :) Did Garrett get any shots when he went? I don't remember now when kate's next appt is but I'm pretty sure she's due for a poke or two when it comes :P

Head start is gonna be great for miss Danika! I'll bet she and her siblings will have TONS to chat about with each other soon comparing notes about their classrooms and such :)
