Avery

Avery had her 4-year old check up last week. When I told her, her first question was if she was going to have to get shots or not. I told her I didn’t know (I really didn’t) but that it would be okay either way. Well that didn’t do it for her and she just didn’t want to go. So I decided I would call and ask. I figured I had a 50-50 shot of her not getting shots and if she didn’t have to it would make the whole thing more pleasant. Well I didn’t get the answer I was wanting. Not only would she have to get shots but at age 4 it is a big round of shots. I told her she would have to get a shot but I didn’t say how many (5! one was her second H1N1). They only way I could get her to go without crying the whole time was to promise McDonalds afterwards. We found out though that she is 39 1/4th inches and 31.9lbs. She is still in the 50% for height!!!! After all that testing we did when she had dropped so much on the growth curve now she is holding strong at 50%! It was great news. The dr was very presently surprised at how well she was doing. He asked if she was starting to “read” 3 letter words and I said yes, “cat, dog, ect.” I also told him that she can read/recognize all of her classmates names. He was pleased! She is just amazing. He is the same dr that helped us through all the stuff with her when she was born. He has been pulling for us/her since her birth.


On a different note Av rode a new horse the other day. Wendy Lou. She was very excited. We had talked about it a lot and so she was excited to meet a new horse and to give him/her treats.
