This uniform is just like the one I wore when I was a Junior Girl Scout (4th - 5th grade)

Scarlett's Back to School Portraits - Kindergarten

The Star of the Show at McDonalds

I see a podiatrist every few weeks at an office that is close to Sun City, land of the retired people.  I treat her to a McDonald's breakfast nearby and she is always the star of the show!   These sweet elderly people love to see Scarlett and we hear numerous times during our visit about how beautiful / adorable / cute / precious / petite, etc. she is.  

I constantly marvel at this little beauty!

Scarlett's First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Scarlett Graduates from The Goddard School

It finally happened:   the Lucero Family has graduated from our beloved Goddard School here in Verrado.  We've loved sending both kids here for their preschool years!  Scarlett gets to stick around for a few more weeks, until kindergarten starts (which is awesome, because I'm not quite ready to have both kids home all day, every day ... I gotta work up to that bravery!)
 

Scarlett and her beloved, Jake. :)

 A couple of videos for Scarlett's adoring fans :)

Scarlett is Perfectly Petite!

After years of doctors' concerns regarding Scarlett's very petite size (she almost 5 and weighs just 28+/- pounds ... And is about the size of a large 2 year old), we finally have an answer of sorts:

Her new endocrinologist ordered a bone scan to determine the "age" of Scarlett's bones.  And her conclusion is that Scarlett's growth is delayed 1 - 1.5 years, and that her bones are that of a 3 - 3.6 year old.   Her growth chart will be adjusted to reflect the growth rate of a 3 year old girl, rather than a (nearly) 5 year old girl.

I hope this new information will remove the "failure to thrive" label from her medical record.  This girl is not failing to thrive at anything!

And I am thrilled that the endocrinologist simply wants to see her again in a year (rather than the six months she originally requested), and there was NO mention of growth hormones.  Whew!!!

Her projected height when she is full-grown is 4' 11". :)

So now we can carry on with our Perfectly Petite Princess ... Free of medical intervention!!!

Scarlett's First Set of Fall 2016 Portraits - Age 4.5

Here are Scarlett's first set of school photos.  This set matches Christian's set and then shortly we'll be getting her school portraits which always turn our amazing!   So stay tuned for set #2

Scarlett's First Day of Pre-K

Today is Scarlett's first day in "Pre-K."   It isn't much of a transition ... she is at the same school on the same days, for the same amount of time.   She just moved to a new classroom with a new teacher.

Hard to believe this tiny little girl will be starting kindergarten next year!   She is still the size of a big two year old!
