Well Child Check

Last week I took Abby to the pediatrician for her yearly physical and it was so funny. She is just such a funny girl. First of all, she was thrilled because she was finally getting to see her new pediatrician (it took me a while after the adoption to get everything worked out to have the girls switched to Seth's pediatrician), plus, she was getting to do something on her own, without Haley. So, she was just beaming as she was weighed (she informed the nurse that she "measures 32") and had her blood pressure taken. Then, when the nurse told me that she needed me to try and get a urine sample, Abby looked up at me wide-eyed and said "mom, do I get to pee in a cup?" I have no idea how on earth she knew that's what a urine sample is. Anyway, she was thrilled, thrilled, thrilled about peeing in a cup! She had everyone in the office laughing so hard because she just kept saying "I want to pee in a cup. I want to pee in a cup, mom. I want to pee in the cup." And, if the joy of peeing in a cup wasn't enough, the pediatrician told her that she needed two immunizations. Once again, she surprised me and knew what that meant ("mom, I get shots?"). She looked up at the pediatrician and said "Dr. Crummer, I'm really good at shots." She proceeded to shock the nurse with how good she really is at shots!

I know, I know, all you moms out there are envious. My daughter really is a dream to take to the doctor!
