Appropriate Dinner Talk

A couple weeks ago Hannah and Peter thought it was really funny to say pee pee and poo poo at random times. So I told them that it was bathroom talk and those words could only be said in the bathroom.

Well tonight at dinner Peter was saying poo poo and here's how Hannah responded.
"Peter we only say that in the bathroom. At the table we say, "yum, food" or "more food please." OK Peter?"

My 4 Year Old

Last week I took Hannah in for her 4 year appointment. Here are her stats

Weight: 35lb (50%). Apparently she is the average weight of a 4 year old. (Side note: Peter weighs about 33lbs. I guess that means he is also the average weight of a 4 year old. :-D)

Height: 41.5 inches (90%). Apparently this puts her at the average height of a 5 year old. This is why eventhough she is "average" in weight she is so dang skinny. She is just the long & lean body type, I guess.

Anyhow, a couple weeks ago I had some birthday parties for her (yes, parties, plural). I had one party with her friends (and siblings) and one party with family (mainly adults). I decided that the kids wouldn't be very excited about hanging out and chatting and that the adults wouldn't get too many thrills from the treasure hunt and follow the leader. Both parties were tons of fun and it was great to celebrate the whole weekend.

Here's the crew that came to the kiddo party. Oliver, Owen, Peter, Hannah, and Sasha. Maya didn't make the picture (she's Sasha's 1 year old sister), and unfortunately Claire and Daphine were sick so they had to miss.







The balloons were definitely a highlight of the party. Actually, they are still afloat today, 3.5 weeks later. And they still provide minutes upon minutes of entertainment. It's amazing!




Hannah and Sasha running around the house. There is always lots of running when Hannah's around! :-D


More running.




Goodbye hugs.




This is party #2. Rebekka, Peter, Kiefer and Hannah playing on Hannah's bed. Can you find Hannah?





The rest of us sitting around the food. :-)




Opening presents




Yay for the Healthy Monster Triathlon book.




Kiefer stuck in the grocery cart.










Excitement about the cake.




Check out the yummy cake I made. It's 3 layers: 2 pink layers and one white/confetti layer, with jam inbetween the layers and chocolate frosting with pink letters. Yum!!





Caleb and Hannah playing with the new legos. I'm not sure who was more excited about this present. :-D
