He was NOT looking forward to the blood pressure cuff, vaccinations, and removing his clothing. I was afraid we were going to have a tantrum. But he survived the blood pressure by watching the numbers on the monitor change. He survived taking off his clothes by willingly putting on the paper gown. (!) Apparently he liked the school buses on it. And he didn't actually have any shots today. Instead of showing fear and anger, Levi decided to talk the entire time. He was downright happy. I guess he remembered that his doctor pays attention to him and enjoys hearing what he has to say. The visit turned out MUCH better than I was expecting.<br />
<br />
Here are Levi's stats: He is 50 inches tall (98th percentile) and 50 pounds (75th percentile). Dr. Pollard told Levi he is the size of the average 9-year-old. According to my research, it's only average height for an 8-year-old, but he's pretty tall.<br />
<br />
He LOVES school! Today he presented his Science Fair project, and I'm so proud of him for going through with the while thing. We were invited to a birthday party for a school friend for the first time. He is becoming more imaginative, more flexible, and more self-controlled. We love our Levi!Gorham Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17961271317078322422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734164912665614041.post-53948275633927895062017-01-27T15:05:00.000-08:002017-01-27T15:05:12.262-08:00Micah's four-year appointmentWow! I didn't realize it has been such a long time since I've made a blog post! So it looks like the virus hit my laptop about nine months ago. I still have a virus, but so far I am able to use Blogger.<br />
<br />
Micah went to his four-year well-child check-up today. He is 42.5 inches tall (90th percentile) and weighs 38.5 pounds (75th percentile). He has definitely grown a lot this year, regularly suffering from growing pains in legs. He is a loving, affectionate soul, and he is having a great time in his three-year-old preschool class. He talks about his friends a lot--well, much more than Levi ever did--and he loves active play. Happy birthday, dear Micah!Gorham Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17961271317078322422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734164912665614041.post-81297853445235110902016-04-06T22:35:00.001-07:002016-04-06T22:35:32.692-07:00Tuesday Surprise - MarchWeek 1: Riding light rail, walking through UW Tacoma campus, lunch at The Rock Pizza<br />

A gorgeous day on the Sound. We played at Perkins Park, walked around the Steilacoom ferry dock, and came back up the hill--I carried Micah the whole way!--and played at the park some more.<br />

We had lovely weather at Allen Yorke Park. There was a nice playground, and fun rocky beach, and an active construction site just across the street. Couldn't be better! Actually, the weather was so nice that we sat outside of Starbucks later and had to take off our sweatshirts.<br />

For our latest Seattle trip, we rode the monorail from Seattle Center to Westlake, ate lunch at the mall, rode the escalator and glass elevator, took the monorail back to the Center, had Starbuck hot chocolate, viewed the fountain, and played on the new playground. Although the umbrellas weren't really necessary, they were awfully cute.<br />

When we went to Ikea, I had intended for the boys to play in the child care area. Much to our dismay, we found that the ball pit was closed and there was a 25 minutes wait time for accepting new kids in the play area. With that and the fact that the boys didn't really want to go in there, they ended up shopping with Mother and me. After we checked out, we treated ourselves to lunch at the bistro (sitting on a bench near the restroom). It was still fun.<br />

Sitting on Grandpa's bridge. We really wanted to see a train drive under the bridge, and we were excited to see one come around the corner. But then it slowed down and stopped! We had to leave before it started moving again. After this the boys came with me to Helen Hovis's funeral.<br />

Week 3: Nature walk at Clark's Creek Park<br />
Week 4: Titlow Beach<br />

Due to Levi's school schedule, our new free day is Tuesday. So what was once "Wacky Wednesday" and then "Mystery Monday" has now become "Tuesday Surprise." To celebrate our final Mystery Monday, we decided to go all out and indulge with an expensive field trip. My mother came with us this day. We drove to Bremerton, rode the ferry to Seattle, walked along the waterfront, visited the Seattle Aquarium, ate a picnic lunch in Waterfront Park near the ferris wheel, rode the ferry back, and strolled through Bremerton's Blackberry Festival before heading home. It was a great trip! Of course, the boys' favorite part was riding the ferry!<br />

For our first Tuesday Surprise, we tried to go to a park in Tacoma; however, it started raining just as we arrived. Instead we ended up going to the Tacoma Mall and playing on the kids' rides (without actually paying for the rides). Then we shared a cookie at Panera.</div>

The fish ladder was a bit disappointing. After seeing a hundred large salmon hanging out just below the locks--and watching a seal catch one!--there was a total of three fish in the underwater viewing area.<br />

Remlinger Farms was SO MUCH FUN! It's like a miniature fair, and it's perfect for kids ages 2-8! We will definitely be making the drive up to Carnation again! Our boys have always been a little scared of rides, but this time they totally jumped on board. Micah was in charge of raising and lowering this little corn "airplane."<br />

Another fun ride we tried was like the teacups at Disneyland. I was really surprised the boys wanted to go on it, but even though we got turning really fast, they still wanted to go a second time. Oh, and one of my personal favorite things about Remlinger Farms was the livestock. There was a sheep there that sounded like a human. It was like a human shouting "BAA!" So funny!</div>

It was another wonderful celebration in Indianola! We had a great time with family. The weather was quite warm, but being on the water was much cooler than Puyallup (low 90s). The boys were hanging in there pretty well, so we decided to stay for the fireworks. They LOVED it! At one point, they got tired of the loud noise, so they watched from inside; however, they were just as happy to go back outside later. We didn't leave until 10:25, so we got home at 11:45. Getting up for church in the morning was tough, but Nathan, Levi, and Micah all fell asleep during nap time on Sunday.</div>

One Thursday, Bob treated us to play time at Pump It Up. The boys were cautious at first, but I was able to convince Micah to try out a bouncy house. Levi saw Micah having such a good time; eventually he couldn't stand it anymore, and he had to try it, too. They were hooked!</div>

Picking blueberries at Kevin's house. The boys each picked several, but then their interest started to flag. When I told them they could eat a few berries, they were excited. Not only did they eat each berry they picked from then on, they emptied their buckets as well. I made them each bring home three berries.<br />

It was a hot day in downtown Puyallup. The sprayground had just opened a couple weeks ago. I took the boys to play in the water, but they didn't want to. We just sat on the side and watched the other kids play. Finally, I told them that we would go home but that first they each needed to touch the water. Well, it turns out that was pretty fun! So we stayed and played for another 20-25 minutes. They got soaked while wearing their regular clothes, so before we got in the car, I changed them into their dry swim clothes. Backwards day?<br />

The boys were adventuresome this time. When we first arrived, Micah took off running down the hall to the flashing lights of the police car. We had a few poor behavior choices, and we were all pretty tired afterward, but it was a fun time!<br />

On Easter Sunday I asked the boys to smile for the camera. It began with Micah giving a nice smile and Levi being goofy. Watch how Micah tried to imitate Levi in the pictures that follow.<br />

Brunch with my parents, Bob, and Stephen. Despite the oven going on the fritz in the middle of meal prep, we had two different quiches, roasted veggies, fresh veggies, fruit salad, blueberry cream cheese danishes, and resurrection rolls. I served it on Nathan's grandmother Velma's china. Oh, and we had mimosas, too!<br />

On this day at Clark's Creek Park, there was a nice Australian shepherd that was playing with a mom and daughter. It was a very well-behaved dog. But when Micah and the daughter happened to be up on a platform and the dog decided to run up to the girl, Micah kind of freaked out. While I was comforting him, I noticed the dog chasing Levi around the outside of the play structure. He was freaked out, too, but I am proud that he didn't cry. And, of course, at that moment the monthly Lahar sirens started going off. We decided on a change of scenery and went for a nice nature walk along the creek.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whAAjRnxxMM/VUMPvW5b-dI/AAAAAAAAC2o/qcWmpj6Neww/s1600/IMG_4424%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whAAjRnxxMM/VUMPvW5b-dI/AAAAAAAAC2o/qcWmpj6Neww/s1600/IMG_4424%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

At Snake Lake, the boys enjoyed the stuffed animals and puppets in the nature center.<br />

They have a neat children's play area with a cool climbing rock. Typical Micah: climbed right up and stood on top.<br />

This new spider web at the playground was very enticing. Unfortunately, Levi was a bit too timid to go very far, and poor Micah's legs were just too short for him to reach the middle section.<br />

Our first time taking the umbrellas out and about. They were super cute but actually ridiculous. The boys could hardly see anything, and I couldn't hold their hands (in downtown Tacoma!) because they had to hold the umbrellas. Plus we took up most of the sidewalk and walked very slowly. I felt bad for the other pedestrians!<br />

Waiting for our return ride. We also enjoyed the elevator ride in the parking garage. It was a glass elevator, and we could see all of downtown as we rode up to the top floor.<br />
