Vacation prevented us from seeing Ellie's doctor sooner, but last week we finally had Ellie's two year check up. We prepared her for this visit for some time leading up to it: we regularly read to her an Elmo book about his visit to the doctor and Kinsey gets a huge assist for getting Ellie a doctor kit for her birthday.
So the big day came around and there we all were: me from work, EM from work and Nanny and Ellie from Nanny's house. Suffice it to say, the examination room was a bit crowded once you added the necessary medical personnel. Anyhow, Ellie did a great job - she was very attentive and cooperative. Everything is a-ok. Her height is in the 90th percentile (37"), her weight is in the 70th percentile (28lbs), and when the doctor was done Ellie said she wanted to do it again.
Little did she realize we weren't done as in came the nurse for Ellie's shot. There was a brief pause and for a split second I thought I saw the look in her eyes indicating all hell was about to break loose, but she pulled it together and proceeded to say "let's do it again." Crazy. Of course, it didn't hurt that the nurse gave her five stickers.
