Spring Break

Emma and I had such a great spring break together!!! Minus leaving Target kicking and screaming (we are working on a few tantrums:)) we had SO MUCH FUN together, and really got to explore and play and just enjoy being together! We went to the Zoo, celebrated her birthday at the water park, then we went to the Mall of America and went on rides ALL DAY with Daddy. She even went on the big roller coaster and LOVED it, and the Log Chute ride! Emma also had her very first Dentist appointment. I took her to a pediatric dentist right down the street from us and they were just wonderful, I would suggest them to anyone! They totally won Emma over and she was really the perfect patient (I was a little nervous after the Target incident!). She got her teeth cleaned, and I asked the dentist about her underbite and she said they wouldn't do anything until she was 7 or 8, and that would be just the beginning - great:)

Emma also had her 3 year Dr. appointment! She was so excited to go "get checked", just like we do at home with her Dr Kit! She is 39.4 pounds and 40 inches tall - perfectly aligned for height and weight, although big all the way around:) The Dr. did hear a little heart murmur this time so we will have to go in to the specialist next week to get that checked out during an Echo-cardiogram. We will keep everyone posted on that for certain!

Below are just some pictures from the week, although I still need to post the Easter pictures!!!!

Guinea Pig escaped from Elliott while he was cleaning out the cage. When I got home from the grocery store her was hiding under the hutch. I suggested Elliott use the fishing pole to push him out. Elliott took it one step further and said he would lasso him out - of course I chastised him for the idea:) And sure enough after about 45 minutes Elliott pulled a choking and squawking Guinea Pig out... I think he will be changed for life, but we got him:) Good job Daddy!!!
