Thursday morning (the morning I was DRAGGING) I did get to sleep a little late b/c Piper had her 5 year well child appointment. Instead of 6:15, we got up at 7:15, dropped Presley off at school about 8 and headed to her appt.
She knew she was going to have to get shots and she really wasn't all that scared (I think she was a little nervous b/c she wouldn't stop talking and that is what she tends to do) She asked if it hurt and I was honest telling her that it would for a just a second....kind of like when she got her ears pierced, but overall she just wanted it over with so she could tell her friends at school that she got her '5 year shots!'
She was 3'6" tall, which was about 35% and 38 lbs which was about 37%....she is petite!
She also said that Piper has huge tonsils! We don't have that many issues with strep but she asked if Piper snores (YES!) and if she has an appetite (NO!) and these are things that are affected by large tonsils. She said we might want to have them checked out just in case they recommend removing them, which if they did, we would want to do before kindergarten!
Piper had her shots....she said 'ouch' about 3 times and that was it! No tears! She was SO proud of herself! (and I was proud of her too!)
Steve was able to take her to the ENT on Thursday and they said that if she is snoring but she is sleeping good, then we don't have to worry! So no need for anything addt'l, which I was happy about!
