I took you to the doctor for your annual check up on September 9th. You weighed 37 pounds (64th percentile) and were 41 ¼ inches tall (78th percentile). Your body mass index (BMI) is right at 50% which the doctor said was so great! The checkup itself was horrible. I knew you would be getting shots, but I had no idea you would have to get FOUR shots. And I certainly didn’t know you would decide to be deathly afraid of shots. I am certain that you have never been more afraid than you were of that nurse with the needle. And I am just as certain that I have never been more embarrassed than I was as you screamed louder than I have ever heard and clung to me with a death grip. In the end, I had to hold the top half of you down while the nurse held your legs down to give you the shots. And when she was done you asked, “Did she do the shots?” To top it all off, you had to do a finger prick for a blood sample and give a urine sample as well. And during your finger prick the blood started clotting and the nurse had to start all over and do it a second time. Seriously, no one warned either of us about how terrible the four year checkup is! I think we are both glad to have that behind us!

September 7th was your very first choir practice. You are in the Cherub Choir at church and you absolutely love it!
September 9 - Today was the first time you acted embarrassed when I saw you naked. You were changing clothes when I came into your room and you said you wanted privacy!
Right now you bring a baby doll to the table with you every morning for breakfast and you pretend to feed her bites while you eat. It’s really sweet.
Today was also the first time I have ever heard you count to 100 all by yourself. I was impressed! I can tell you have been practicing at school!
