Mail, birthday party, Santa and 3 year checkup!

We have had a busy weekend! It started with mail from Aunt Betty for Jaden. Jaden loves getting mail. She gets so excited and will not let anyone help her get it open. Of course she was thrilled to get a box with puzzles and clothes!



Friday night Jaden and I headed out to celebrate one of our favorite girls, Sophie Su! We had a great time swimming! Yes I said swimming! Luckily it was indoors!





(I had to steal this pic from Amy's blog because my camera died! I know she wont mind! Especially since she put that picture of me up on her's in my swimsuit!!!)

On Saturday morning we had our COFCC Christmas party so I got Jaden fancied up and we headed out to party!




(that's my drama queen after her finger got bent back)



I was so glad that Jaden actually sat with Santa this year! Last year it didn't happen! I was also glad to learn that all that she wants for Christmas is stickers! I sure would have liked to have known that a month ago! Would have made for a very cheap Christmas!

Saturday night I got to do something that I have not done since 8/2/2009! I got to have a girls night out! We went out to celebrate Amy's birthday! Rusty and Jaden got to spend the evening at Amy's house so Charlie could watch the girls while the guys watched football!(once again I am stealing Amy's pic! She owes me!)

And finally today Jaden had her 3 year check-up. And yes I took a picture! You only have one three year check up! Jaden doesn't see the doctor much. So far she has only had one visit while she was sick. She was so excited to go to the dr. today! She did very good with the Dr. and really showed out! She grew two inches in a year and is now 38 1/4 inches. And she has finally reached 30 pounds. She started out in the 95% for height when she came home but is slowing down and is now in the 72%! The doctor said everything is great with her and also told her it was time for her to sleep in her own bed and she quickly told him no! We also discussed the potty issues we have and he said that due to the way she was potty trained in China, Miralax may be a lifelong companion for our little girl. I was not glad to hear that but he said that it will not harm her. I am hoping once she gets a little older we can stop. He was quick to point out that he could tell Jaden rules our house and I guess she does! But that is ok :-)
