Mine bounce

Laney's exact words were, "look...watch MINE bounce." After she was done bouncing she said, "look at mine run."

loves the small things...

she just loves her new crown, earrings, necklace and dress her Nanny got for her! Thank you so very much Nanny and Pop Pop!

Iron

Laney has been prescribed an iron supplement. Her Dr. said she is slightly anemic. 'Slightly' being the key word here. Maybe not, but I would think a lot of kids are anemic or slightly anemic. Laney just so happened to get her blood drawn to be tested for all her fevers. Anyhow, her iron supplement is called ferrous sulfate. Her dosage is 1.5 Ml 2x/day. [elemental iron 15 mg/0.6 mL] 0.6 ml is 150% RDA for someone under 4 years of age. This means she is getting 750% of her RDA of iron. And her Dr. also told me to keep giving her, her usual multivitamin, which contains 100% of her RDA of iron. Maybe I am clueless as to how this all works...but doesn't that seem like a lot of iron for such a little person?! If she was showing signs of being anemic, then maybe I could understand better. Not to mention, again, her Dr. said, "slightly anemic." At least cut the dosage in half or something?!! I am going to have to call the Dr. tomorrow to see if this is correct. On the positive side, she likes it. I mix it w/ applesauce and she takes it w/ no problem. Oh, I am just a mamma that worries too much about her wee ones! In saying that, on a scary note, iron poisoning is the most common kind of pediatric poisoning...or something like that.

Also, Kayli starts preschool tomorrow! So far she is excited and so am I. :)

My portrait

The picture below is a picture of me, according to Laney! I have a head growing on my face. I think it is cute how she even drew the arms and legs. And she told me she gave me a toe too! :)

Just some random pics...

If you are wondering why I dont have as many pics of Kayli it is because she doesnt always like getting her pic. taken. But as you can see, Laney loves it. :)



Laney thought she was so funny!
