  My babies are growing!
  We headed out to the doc today to get their 5 year and 3 year checkups. Both kids are still at the upper end of the growth charts.
  Lucas --
  height: 45 inches (89%)
  weight: 44.5 pounds (70%)
  
  Amanda --
  height: 39.5 inches (95%)
  weight: 38.5 pounds (96%)
  
  They did well considering their fingers were pricked to obtain blood for a cholesterol test and they each had a dose of vaccines. Yuck!
  We made up for all the pain by going to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. The kids totally loved it and I didn't hate it.
  
  I haven't written here in so long... I guess after the long days of work and the kids I didn't feel much like reliving things.
  The kids are doing great, though.
  Lucas had an awesome 5th birthday party at Jolly Jumps and I must say that 5 is a magical age. It's like overnight he's become a great big brother and a good little helper for me. He still loves to terrorize his little sister a bit and he has problems listening, but overall he is maturing so quickly. His reading is taking off. He is starting to read some words even when I'm not around and he likes to put our letter magnets together to spell words. Our next task is to do flash cards with some phonics rules.
  
  Amanda is a bit fiery lately. She is becoming more and more stubborn. She doesn't seem to love school all that much, but she loves being at home reading books and painting. She is happy if we don't have to go anywhere or do anything special.
  She is funny, though, and loves to make us laugh. My favorite thing is to look in her eyes and smile and she'll crack up. It's like our own secret code. We'll be sitting next to each other reading a book and I'll look at her and give her a goofy grin and she smiles a big smile and crinkles her eyes up in the cutest way.
  
  Both kids love Ruby, but I think they love her too much. Poor dog. She is constantly being squeezed by the two preschoolers.
