4 year check up

Alivia had her 4 year well child check up this morning. (Our insurance always makes us do it 6 months after birthdays, so annoying!) She weighed in at 44 lbs 8 oz and was 44" tall. 95th percentile for weight and height. We talked all week about her appointment and she was aware she'd be getting a few shots. So she went into today being very brave. Unfortunately I was unaware that she'd have to get a finger stick to collect blood to test her iron and four vaccines, I thought she was getting only two. She was not thrilled. Livi got through the finger prick alright then lost it when it came time for her shots. We got through it though and she got a clean bill of health and she can officially go to school next fall now that she's had all her vaccines.
After her appointment I promised her if she was brave and did a good job I'd take her to get something special. A little bribing never hurt anyone right? She wanted an Icee and popcorn from Target. So we made a quick trip to Target afterward. After her treat we headed to the Elementary school she'll be attending next year and brought them her updated vaccine record. Then we stopped at the library to get some book before heading home.
