Big Kid Check Up

Since we are in the midst of flu season and are four months past Madelyn's 6th birthday I figured it was fine time to get her in for her 6 year well child check up and flu shot. I scheduled the appointment for today and since Ryan works only a few blocks from the doctor's office he was the lucky one to take her. We didn't tell her about the appointment because we knew she would fret about getting a shot. As soon as they pulled into the doctor's office parking lot she started asking over and over if she was getting a shot. Thankfully Madelyn lucked out on the shot and got the flu nasal mist instead. That was a pleasant surprise.
Madelyn weighs 59lbs and is 49 3/4 inches tall. The doctor said "she is a big girl for her age." Ya think??? The rest of the appointment went well except for the eye test. She struggled with seeing some of the letters and we now have to schedule an eye appointment. I was a little disappointed with that news but Madelyn is stoked! She can't wait to get glasses because she knows she is going to be so cute, or so she told me. Obviously she has no problems in the self esteem area.

You know... if you aren't going to facebook, you could at least update this daily. Something is missing in my life and I think it is not knowing what's going on in yours!

<3 you!
