Kelson's 4 year old checkup


Hard to believe that Kelson hasn't been to the doctor since she was 2. It was time again for shots :( At least its the last round until she's 11 years old 2018 :) Her height was 40 3/4" (75% percentile). She was most excited that she's now tall enought to ride the "thunder mnt railroad" at Disneyworld. LOL. Her weight was 37lbs (75% percentile). She did wonderful on her hearing and eye tests too. Dr. Zbell said she was in perfect health and very smart. She had her tell her some colors, numbers, and asked her about her eating habits. Kelson passed with flying colors (pun intended). Now, it was time for the shots, Kelson was so young last time she had them that she wasn't sure what to expect. She had to get 3 shots, but with daddy holding her arms, the nurses holding her legs, she did great and they did a great job administering them FAST. The first one scared her a bit and she started crying, it got even worse for the next two. Its so sad to see your baby hurting :( After they got done we immediately held her and told her how good she did. She said I don't like that, why did you let them do that to me? :( that broke my heart. So we explained that everyone has to get shots to make them feel better. I happened to bring a Halloween Lalaloopsy doll for her as a surprise for being a big girl. That was a smart mommy move :) That helped heal the pain a little quicker :) Way to go mom! Of course she got the 2 stickers and 2 lolipops too. THEN.... since she did so good we all went to Chuck E Cheese. Kelson only commented on her shot wombs a few times, but overall she did great and was relieved to know she was done for a while. Sad thing for Jason and I is that we have to start all over with Janson :(

Asbury: Kelson is LOVING her school, she is a great morning person and loves to get ready to go see her "kids". She hasn't had any bad reports or anything. She brings home adorable drawings and has really seemed to be grasping the "classroom" setting. We are talking about sending her there again next year for Kindergarten. She has chapel once a week, so she's incorporated God into her day. I love that. She already had her class and individual school pictures. They have a field trip to Botanical gardens coming up and a fall festival this Friday. Sometimes I wish I was one of the "stay at home moms" so I could go and hang out with her at school :( Overall, we are SUPER excited and happy that we found this school. She really does love it and has met some great friends.
