Last week Kendall had her 3 year old check up with Dr. B! She was so shy last year that it made me plan ahead this year and spend a lot of time talking about going to the doctor, telling her what Dr. B would be doing, and just building up the whole experience. We even drew a card for him, and Kendall was very excited to give it to him.
Well, I was so proud of her! She did such a good job and was so brave. The nurse came in first and weighed her and checked her height. Last year she wouldn't even step on the scale - I had to hold her - and this year she just stepped right up, no problem! She weighed 39 lbs and was 40 inches tall - both still in the 95th percentile!
When Dr. B walked in, Kendall walked right up to him, said hello, and handed him her picture. He sat and talked with her about it and told her that it was his first Valentine's card this year! He asked her to do several things, like jump up and down, and she did everything he told her. She even spelled her name for him! He checked her out and she was totally fine the whole time. I was so proud of her! After he left, I told her that the nurse was going to be coming in to give her a shot, and that it would hurt a little bit but just for a minute. When the nurse asked her to lay on the table, she didn't cry -she was so brave. She didn't cry until the shot actually went in, but then it was over, I got to hold her, and she calmed down pretty quick. She was such a big girl and we were just so proud...so we took her to get a Sonic slushie!!!
