I finally took Chloe for her 2 year wellness check at the doctors office the other day. To measure her, the nurse had her lay down instead of stand up so her length is 36 inches exactly. At home on her growth chart, though, she is 35 inches standing up. Strange how that works. They also weighed her and she is 26 pounds.
I thought I was doing pretty good only getting Chloe to the doctor two weeks after she turned 2. With Katelyn I usually had her to the doctor within a few days of turning X months/years old. So two weeks, eh, not too bad.
Then the doctor came in and informs me that I missed Chloe 18 month wellness check. WHAT?! I argued a bit, but he assured me, she was not there. And so she missed the final shot of Hepatitis A and had to get it that day.
Nice job, Mom of the Year!
After getting the immunization shot and flu shot (yes, a little late on that one, too!), Chloe yelled, not in pain, but out of anger, yanked off her Band-aid, and said, "I don't like boo-boos."
Such a change from Katelyn's reaction to getting shots. Scream, cry, scream some more, cry...for at least 5 minutes. If you remember, when she got her immunizations for kindergarten, it took 3 nurses plus myself to hold her down and she screamed so loud, I'm sure patients in the waiting room heard her.
And totally off topic, Chloe knows the following colors: red, pink, blue, orange, brown, yellow, green, purple
