Our weekday evenings are usually quite routine with dinner, homework, bath, books and nighttime. But this past Tuesday night was an exception to the rule.
Let's just say, we've never been greeted as "Oh, so you're the pinkeye family!" like we were last night by the doctor on-call at the local Urgent Care. We all sat there looking at Kristina as the culprit but knowing full well that no matter how hard we tried to keep the pinkeye to herself, she was generous enough to share it with mommy and daddy. Daddy started getting it Monday night and I woke up Tuesday morning with it. I stayed home from work Tuesday and called our primary doctors after taking Kristina to school (she's been cleared since last week and was just finishing up her meds).
Neither Jon's doctor nor my doctor could see us until Wednesday afternoon (arghhhh) and I just couldn't wait to start the meds, thus putting off going to back to work until Friday. So going to Urgent Care was our date night.
I picked Kristina up a little early from school as I promised her a scooter/tricycle ride around the neighborhood before we went to Urgent Care. When Jon came home, our evening on the town began. Some pics to share ~ but I didn't even think of taking a picture of the three of us together. *sigh*

| Kristina loves her Razor scooter and is actually pretty good at it! |
 |
| ...it's keeping up with her that is the problem! (Yes, wardrobe change #1.) |
 |
| Still loves her tricycle even tho' her legs are getting a tad long for it! (Wardrobe change #2) |
 |
| Kristina loves to pet this stray kitty...who she has affectionately named "Kristina". Very creative, eh? Note the sunglasses at the neckline of her top. |
 |
"Wait, I'm 4 years old - I get bigger!" claims our little angel.
(Wardrobe change #3...final one before pj's. Typical day!) |
 |
| And the verdict: 37 lbs. and 39 inches tall. That's 10 lbs. heavier and 8 inches taller than when she came home almost 2 years ago! |
 |
| While at the pharmacy, Kristina checks out the glasses... |
 |
| ...and she looks good in 'em, too. Hmmm, maybe a therapist in the making??!! |

The cane and glasses, along with her trying to "grow taller" on the scale are AdOrAbLe!!! Brings a smile to my face!
Way to go Kristina (this comment is more directed at the height/weight than giving mommy and daddy the stinkeye, but that's funny too hehe).
She's almost got 10 lbs on my skinny miss now!!
Hope your eyes are normal colors again! Kristina is so, so, so cute!! I love that she is such a little fashion plate. You should frame the last picture - so funny!
Yucky date. But you were together! And growing like a weed. Amazing what a bunch of love and good food has done. We're only at about 35 pounds but already 41 inches tall. Can't keep up. Hope you are all better soon.

Cute pictures! Maybe you can raise the seat on the trike to give her a little more let room....of course she may be ready for a two wheeler with training wheels!
The grow taller pic is the cutest pic EVER! You can see her trying to add a few inches! lol!!!! FYI... I made my blog privae so please send me your e-mail on FB so I can add you. :)
Kristina has truly blossomed under your and Jon's loving care!! What an amazing journey!
