4 year well check

This years well check was the dreaded well check.  It was the one you hear the most about because they have to have four shots.  For her it was bad from the shots on...for me I dreaded it many weeks before knowing what I was about to subject her too.  Needless to say after all was said and done she got to go to the store and get my infamous procedure present.  She would sit in the back and whimper absolutely breaking my heart.  I was willing to buy her the world to make her feel better. 

On a side note...the doctor's office has a lot of sympathy for these little ones.  As she walked up to the check out whimpering the lady at the desk noticed it was her four year.  She stood up, walked away and came back with a toy for her.  She got to pick two pops and have as many stickers as she wanted.  She said they only do this for the four year because it is so miserable.  We appreciated their way of thinking.

Stats

Weight: 27 whopping pounds - puts her at < 3% ...That means she is taller than less than 3% of kids her age.  Doctor wasn't worried about this considering she has gained 4 lbs. in a year which is consistent for her.

Height: 37 1/4 inches - puts her at 10% ...Although this is not too bad their is still a need to be concerned.  At her three year she was 25% and doctors are not fans of decreases in growth therefore the discussion over growth hormones (which had initially been brought up a few months before by her endocrinologist) came in.  He told us he agrees with the endocrinologist and thinks with only 1inch of growth since her three year appointment we need to consider it due to inconsistent growth.  At this point their is no telling how tall she will be based on atypical growth patterns.  We will meet with the endocrinologist later this month to figure out what the next steps are.

Other than that everything was great.  Dr. G. was pleased to see her engage in conversation and answer his academic questions.  He has loved seeing how much she has grown both socially and emotionally. 

Picture is of her first vision screening.  She didn't know what to do at first but after do the hearing test she decided she was ready to do the vision and thankfully passed it.  Watching this tiny little thing do this test was super cute.
