Kaylee 4 year dr appt and Easter eggs!

Kaylee had her four year old appointment today. We saw a different doctor and this one gave her a book and made her laugh, which was great. Kaylee was 32 lb, 39 in tall. She was at her growth curve pretty much at 25 percentile for weight and 49 percent for height, a little lower for bmi she said, but she said she was fine. She passed her hearing and sight exams, but I was surprised with the shapes they used for sight...confusing, a house Kaylee called a diamond and an apple Kaylee called a heart. No one corrected her and she called out her shape assignments but really why would they not just use triangle, square, circle and heart or diamond? Wierd. Of course this was the day kaylee had also chosen to color all over her legs with markers, but the doctor made kaylee laugh when she asked lightly, "you have a very strange rash here." she also loved being asked if her tattoos would be there forever and if her toenails had mysteriously turned blue (they were painted). I was surprised kaylee knew teasing so well, but look at who's her Daddy, the biggest teaser there is. The doctor was very good at distracting her from her impending anxiousness about getting her shots. ...which was not pretty, kaylee fought tooth and nail to not have those, begging and physically fighting to get away. Glad that next year she won't get an next year! The doc said there's been a whole bunch of cases of whooping cough, so she needed to have it now. Kaylee and I talked afterwards about grandpa having polio as a kid, and how these shots would protect her from that and how lucky we are. She said, "that's good mom just make sure I never need another one ever again." oh well, baby steps...I talked with the doctor about eating battles, she suggested a book and she suggested a rule of since she's four she has to have 4 bites of everything she's offered. She said she wasn't too concerned about it, so long as Kay isn't being naughty with food throwing it, or flinging plates, etc. she said fussy eating is normal and as long as she isn't subsisting soley on nuggets and Mac and cheese ( which she isn't) then she'll be fine.

After we dyed Easter eggs with my mom, which was very fun. Kaylee has noticed that there are two words, die and dye. One is scary in context, the other not so scary. Tomorrow were taking the kids for an Easter egg hunt in the park, should be great! Can't wait!
