My big 5 year old!

Alyssa and I must have passed each other today at the doctor's office!! We were in today for Lily's 5 year old checkup. She was very nervous all day (memories of the dreaded 4 year checkup!). She was fine when she got there....had her hearing tested (which she passed) and was weighed in at 49 lbs and was 46 inches tall....right in the 50th percentile! She did great telling the doctor what she was doing this summer, like swimming and looking for a new house! Then the break down occurred. Dr. H informed us that all children entering into elementary school were required to recieve another chicken pox booster. Lily did not catch on until the doctor left the room and Mommy had to explain that a booster meant SHOT! She cried and cried, but did great for the nurse when she came into give her the shot. She counted to 3 and then it was over. Then Lily was told to go potty in a cup, which she refused to do when we first got there (said she didn't have to go....I think she was too nervous). She took the cup after the shot was over, went into the potty all on her own. She did not want Mommy in there! What a big girl I have! She was so brave today! Yeaah Lily!
