Doctor

Today I went to the doctor for my annual well check. It was good timing because I'm well from the last time I was sick and I needed to get rechecked anyway. But it was bad timing because I lost a little weight while I was sick. I wonder what percentile I'd be if I was still 26 pounds. Since I lost half a pound I was in the 4th percentile for weight. But for height I was 15th! I'm 35 3/4 inches tall. The doctor was happy to see that I could tell her how old I am and copy the shapes she drew. I got to do a hearing and vision check, which was pretty tricky. Not that I can't see, but there are lots of directions to follow and questions to answer. I could hear the beeps in my ears and my answers kept getting quieter and quieter, so they think I'm hearing them just right. Mommy had told me no shots today, but it turned out that they did want to give me one shot. When Mommy asked if it was okay with me, I said yes. I wanted to get a shot just like Corduroy when he goes to the doctor in the book. I whimpered a little bit when the nurse gave me the shot, but I right away wanted to see the band-aid and I loved the bubbles the nurse blew. Now my butt hurts a little bit, I mean my leg. I keep forgetting. Mommy was confused at first why I was saying my butt hurts. I went to school after the doctor and painted a picture. I was late, but I was glad I got there in time for snack. I had to miss school last week when I was sick. I was really sad to miss it and happy to be back! Hopefully I'll stay healthy now so I don't have to miss any more school!


I like to tie my baby up like they do in the Babies movie.
