Stickers And A Ball

Today I had to see my doctor and dentist for school. The doctor told me that I am 28lbs and 35 1/2 inches and that I am proportioned well for height and weight. While I was there, he said I was up to date with all my shots and will not need any more until kindergarten. Today I had to get a TB test and the flu mist. I flinched a little when they did the under the skin TB test, but I did not cry. I got two stickers while I was there and the nurse put them on a tongue depresser to make it look like a puppet. I was so excited and held on to it while I was in the car and would not put it down.


Mommy then took me to see "Doc" and I really had a lot of fun with him. He let me explore his instruments (with his supervision of course). In Doc's mind it is important to get the child comfortable and playing with me was one of them. Mommy wishes that the dentist would have done that with her when she was my age. The visit went really well. I let Doc count my teeth, clean my teeth, and take an x-ray of my teeth. The reason why he took an x-ray was because I had 10 teeth on the top and only 9 on the bottom so there was one tooth missing. Doc told mommy that there is a permanent tooth there (which will come up when I am older) and that the baby tooth never formed, which is ok. The good thing is a do not have a gap in between my teeth. He told mommy that she and daddy are doing great with me especially with my teeth and that I do not have any tooth decay. I guess it is because they do not give me too much sugar and they tell me to brush my teeth. Doc gave me a bag of goodies: toothpaste, toothbrush, and a ball. I love Doc, he's the best!!

Because I did so well, mommy took me to Potomac Pizza so that I could get a slice of pizza and fries. I ate the whole slice and some fries. While we were at Potomac Pizza, I said "I really like this place!" Mommy told me that when she, Aunt Amy, and Aunt Karen went there when they were growing up. Mommy thought I was funny and cute when I told the waiter that I was missing a tooth. I think the waiter thought I was cute too. When I saw daddy and Stephanie last night, I also told them that I was missing a tooth. Yesterday was such a good day. Tomorrow I will be going back to St. Ann's for school.
