Little Light Weight

Caroline had her 2 year check up this morning at 8:45.  All week long we have been talking about going to the doctor. We even watched a Daniel Tiger episode about going to the doctor. The little song from this show has been stuck in my head and popping up when I least expect it.

"When we do something new let's talk about what we'll do" 

We told her about checking her ears, eyes, heart, height and weight. When we were actually having the check up she did ok until we had to get her blood pressure.  That little blood pressure machine and Caroline became enemies fast. Caroline made a huge scene {probably scaring any kid in the lobby about what was coming} and the machine stopped working. After calming her down the rest of the check up went ok.  It helped that daddy let watch some saved videos on his phone.

She stood by her self on the scale.  

 Her stats were:

Weight: 23.4 - 9%

Height: 33.75- 56%

Tall and skinny-

 Dr. Soriano said she was very healthy and developmentally on track. She also said she was on track to be 5'7" when she was an adult.

We were told there would be no shot- YEAH!! but then they turned right around and scheduled a blood draw right after the appointment- BOO!!! We didn't have much time to talk to Caroline about it but she did good considering.

I took Caroline to school with a red band aide on her arm. She must have been really proud of it because  Ms. Kelly {her teacher} said she showed off it off to her classmates.  Caroline also talked about the doctor looking at her eyes and ears all day long.

For being such a great little patient I took her to the playground close to our house after school .  She still doesn't love going to the doctor but it wasn't a horrible experience like in times past.
