4 -Year Check-Up

We got to bed quite late last night because after bath Amelia decided to draw ALL over herself with a BLACK dry-erase marker. I'm talking toe to neck, arms, legs, hands, feet and torso...she didn't do her face. I didn't even think to take a photo...I just grabbed her and put her in the shower. I scrubbed her down and even the bubbles were black. Of course I couldn't get it all off so she had some weird markings on her body today. AHHH!
Amelia had her 4-Year Well Check today and after reading this I was a little frightened. Amelia doing well at the doctor really depends on her mood, but knowing she may be in for many shots I gave her a couple of Tylenol right as we left daycare. I warned her Wednesday night that she would be getting shots at the doctor, but I honestly told her I didn't know how many.

She totally cracked the nurse up, every time she told Amelia what she was going to do Amelia responded, "I know that!" Her visit with Dr. K went great. I LOVE listening to Amelia talk to the Doctor because she ALWAYS tells a fib about something. Last year it was about how often she brushes her teeth, this year it was about where she sleeps...cracks me up. I always tell her she needs to tell Dr. K the truth so she can take good care of her...hmmm not listening??

We got through her physical with nothing exciting happening. Then it was time for the shots. All 5 of them!! Two nurses came in they did 2 rounds of 2 shots each and then 1 nurse did 1 shot. After the second round, Amelia yelled, "OOOOOUCH that HURT!" but that was IT! One of the nurses said in disbelief, "I've NEVER seen a 4-year-old take those shots like that!" Her legs really hurt last night, but the cool band aides helped. I got called at 4 today to come pick her up at daycare because she had a temp, go figure! Not unexpected after all of those vaccinations.

Amelia grew more than I thought, 3 inches, however she only gained 3 pounds. She's 39 1/4 inches tall (33rd Percentile) and now weighs 31.8 pounds (20th Percentile). Yes, she's still a little peanut:) I didn't get the exact measurements or where she's at on the growth chart, Dr. K said she was doing great and that's what matters! My "Boo Baby" sure is growing up big and strong!
