Yesterday was Lexi's four year check-up. She was dreading it for a while because of the shots. First, they had me fill out a questionnaire about her development. There were various questions and tasks I had to see if she could do. They were all too easy. I think Jordan could have done at least half of them. After that, they weighed her. She is 36.5 lbs (50%). Then they measured her to see how tall she is and she is 40.25" (slightly above 50%). Next, they took her blood pressure, temperature & all that.
Then, they asked her to go down the hall with them for an eye test. She didn't want to hold the eye patch, but she did and answered the first two questions. When they pointed at the third thing (a cross), she didn't know what it was and immediately got frustrated. Apparently, my Mormon background has caused me to overlook teaching her that all too important shape. They asked her what it looked like and I know she could have answered but she was already flustered and didn't want to be there anyway, so she refused to continue the test. The doctor wasn't worried about it and said they would test her next time.
After that, they wanted her to pee in a cup. She fought me like crazy. She just couldn't see why she had to go in a cup. She wanted to use the toilet like normal. Finally, she gave in. She cooperated fairly well with the doctor, but was not happy when the nurses came back in with the shots. They gave her the nasal H1N1 first and then her two vaccinations in the arm. She didn't cry, but was NOT happy until she got her sugar-free sucker.
