Kindergarten / 5 Year Physical

Today Lili went in for her Kindergarten physical with Genese. She weighed 40 pounds and was 45 inches tall. She was completely healthy and after getting 3 shots she is now all ready to go to Kindergarten in August. YAY!

Kindergarten Screening...

Last month the kindergarten teachers called each of the Kindergarten-bound preschool kids out of class and did a pre-screening of sorts. Today we received a letter about Lili's pre-screening. Here's what it had to say...

"Kindergarten curriculum has changed significantly over the years. It is now more academic than in years past and more skills are needed before entering Kindergarten. To help us better understand the ability of your child, a pre-screening kindergarten assessment was conducted. The total possible points to acquire was 116. Out of all the students screened, the average score was 89. Your child, Lilian, scored 113 points."

Sounds like she's off to a great start! We're so proud of our Kindergartner!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

They were having Green Eggs and Ham today in Lili's Bright Futures class in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday.

Lili whined and complained the entire morning about how she didn't like green eggs and ham. I explained to her that they are only green because of food coloring, but she was still determined that she didn't like them. I asked her to try at least one bite of them for me and she promised me she would.

After school, when I picked her up, Mrs. Russell told me that not only did Lili try the Green Eggs and Ham, Lili liked the Green Eggs and Ham and ate them all. Guess she's a lot like Sam!

Wonder if she'd like them more if she were in a box with a fox?

Calling all Tooth Fairies...

it's time for another visit to the Robertson home!

This morning, around 8:30am, Lili lost her first tooth, the bottom front tooth on her right. She was very excited.

And now for a Lili-ism (kinda):

After school, she told me that she wanted to write a note to the Tooth Fairy asking her to bring a gift instead of money. I explained to her that the Tooth Fairy only brings money, she's not like Santa or the Easter Bunny. Oh my goodness, you would have thought I told her that there was no Tooth Fairy, Santa, or Easter Bunny...she cried for like 10-15 minutes!
