4 year check up

Today was Ashley's 4 year old check up, yes
mommy did it a few weeks early because school
starts soon, and we will be busy. Ashley weighs
36 pounds and is 40 inches tall. She passed all the
hearing and eye test. Our visit went really well,
expect the doctor discovered ashley's has a heart murmur.
we will be making an appointment with a pediatric
cardiologist. Ashley shows no signs of being tired and being
winded. I was a little upset not knowing her medical history.
It can be just be a small heart murmur .
She can still dance and play soccer.
when I make the appointment tomorrow I will found out
more. Otherwise she is great!
The doctor said she beyond what a 4 year old should know !
I am thankful for having such a great daughter! you never
know when that curve ball is coming at you !
LiVe life to the fullest. Smile like ashley does all
day long!

On friday 8-08-08 the Olympics started in china.
I let ashley stay up and watch the opening
ceremonies. I am so glad I let her stay up!
It was so amazing how they had 2008 drummers,
drumming at one time. The dancing and signing
of children was great! The graphics were excellent.
Ashley said mommy "thats were I lived when I was a baby".
she was glued to the tv. She just sat there with her popcorn
and did not move. The costumes were so pretty !
She tried coping some of the ballet moves from the dancers.
I was impressed what they did! And the torch lighting ,omg!
was so amazing. China really did out did themselves.

olympics 2008

Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world.

Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.

Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.

When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects
