Maggie turns 4!

Maggie's birthday is the 22nd.  It was the last day of school before their Thanksgiving break.  She requested waffles for breakfast.  I put candles in her waffle and she thought that was the neatest thing.  Turner gave her a Pinkalicious doll that morning before school.  She had to take it to school and show it off.  After school we had to go to the doctor for her 4 year check and also so they could both get flu shots.  I know its terrible that I took her on her birthday but that day just worked out the best.  She weighed 36.4 lbs (50%), 39 inches tall (35%), and her first blood pressure check was 96/54.  She passed her vision and hearing test and checked out great.  So then it was the dreaded 5 shots she had to have.  She kept asking if she had to have shots and I said "I don't know ask the doctor".  She didn't take them very well ---- we had tears, tears, and more tears.  Then it was Turners turn.  He had to get his flu shot while we were there.  He never made a peep.  All afternoon Maggie cried if you even looked at the shots or mentioned them.  So we came home and opened another birthday present.  She got a Cinderella Barbie.  Maggie and I had a dinner date that night.  We took Turner to Mimi's house and we went and ate hibachi.  I wish we had had a more entertaining cook but it all turned out good.  She requested steak and shrimp.  When they came out with the drums and ice cream to sing she just about crawled under the table.  It was really special to have a Mommy/Daughter dinner together.    When we got home Jackson had dropped off another present on the front porch.  It was perfect timing because it was Pinkalicious PJ's and a Silverlicious book.  Perfect present for bedtime.

Happy Birthday sweet Maggie!  It is hard to believe that 4 years has come and gone.  I will never forgeth the 26 hours I layed in bed and waited on you to arrive. We have been through some tough times together but you are my little trooper.  I love you so much!  I hope we have a wonderful year together!
