Lucy was due for 4 immunizations, a blood test, and a dentist appointment before her Kindergarten file could be processed. So we crammed it all into one week and made it a...party? If that's possible?
"Body Week" started with a trip to the library.
Eric Carle's Head to Toe was a great hit...
Among others...
We mostly just spent the week movin'!
*hopscotch*
*hills*
*baseball*
*soccer*
(Lucy's favorite of late)
(she's an intimidating little goalie!)
When it was too hot for outside play, we came up with other anatomical ways to pass time.
Lucy loved it this little game from my elementary school days. And I loved her sincere interest as we discussed the functions of various organs. A few minutes after locating and learning about kidneys - how they "wash" our blood to keep it clean - Lucy patted below her ribcage with both hands and said emphatically, "I like my kidneys."
And lest you think Spencer was left out:
He wasn't.
Wednesday and Friday were doctor days.
Lucy loved her visit to the dentist!
If you're looking for a terrific Provo dentist, our friend Adrian Huang has just opened a beautiful office on ninth east!
Shots were harder!
But she was brave...
...and four band-aids later, we headed home! Grateful for healthy, miraculous bodies!

way to go! we join you in celebrating the fact that we haven't had to wipe a nose around here in three days! Hooray for health! and pray it continues for all of us
Only you could turn something like this into a party-- I'll definitely have to tuck this into my list of ideas for later!
Oh you are too fun! We love Eric Carle's Head to Toe too!
My boys love soccer too lately. It's the special treat when I have to set up something at the church during the day... we get to play soccer afterward :)
Body week! Lori - you are a genius! So cute!
You amaze me! Leave it up to you to make going to the doctor fun and meaningful. What a wonderful idea!
You have such cute kids, and what a fabulous way to teach and make the week less intimidating! I sure do miss those huge, perfectly manicured lawns to run and play on out our front door.
You are unbelievable. And the pictures of Lucy playing hopscotch are my favorite. What jumping!
What a trooper Lucy is having to get so much in one day. But, as always, you are brilliant in turning it into a positive experience and a teaching opportunity. Just one of the many things I love about you Lori.
Oh how I wish my hinges worked as well as Lucy's and Spencer's! I love the way they celebrate! You make everything a party! Love you!
Your two little singers are too cute! What adorable little bodies!
Weeeeeeeeeeee... Party On! Love living life with you.
Truly, It IS a Wonderful Life when you stop to think of it.
(It's just that we don't PAUSE long enough to think of it very often :)
