Checkup at Children's

 

Brenley had another good check up at Children's. Her playing hide-and-seek was the most exciting part of the appointment. Her doctor wishes all his patients were as boring as Brenley. Even though she is boring, they still want us to come back in October/November and discuss the plan to get her through another viral season. The doctor said once she is 5 he will be able to say for sure she doesn't have asthma. The RSV she had at 10 days old could have long lasting effects, but at this point we have seen no signs that Brenley has or will develop asthma. Guess we will wait and see, the trip to the cities every 5-6 months seems pointless, but we usually add a trip to the Mall of America, which makes it all worth it!

BRODY-AGE 3

Happy Mother's Day!

Preschool Open House

 

After the circus, we met Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa took Brenley home. Brody, Ryan, Grandma, and I went to Open House at the MLC preschool where Brody is registered to go this fall. Brody told Mrs. B his name, and we spent an hour looking around. He's pretty excited to go. The hard part will be waiting until fall!

Circus!

 

We took the kids to the circus this afternoon. They were good - Brenley even lasted the hour and a half! She said "Hi" and "bye" to every act. Brody's favorites were the elephants and the lions. Brody and I took an elephant ride, while Brenley rode a pony.

Claire's Party

 

Claire had her 6th birthday party at the Holiday Inn on Saturday. Lots of fun! Brody swam with a life jacket by himself for the first time. Looking forward to the pool up north. Brenley has been having some issues this weekend - teeth, we think. Anyway, she didn't get to go in the pool, and she was not happy about it! Happy birthday, Claire!

Play Place

 

Brody got this playset from Grandpa and Grandma for his birthday. It will get a lot of use if it ever stays nice enough outside! In the last picture Brody is doing what he considers his job - pushing Brenley down the slide. It takes her a while to get in position and sometimes he can't wait - he just kind of manhandles her over to the top and gives her a push!
