So BIG!

Today I went to see Dr. Manfredo (I love her) for my 15th month check-up. But before I get to that I have to tell you all about my exciting day at school. I am now spending some time away from the Infant/Tigers room (makes senses doesn't it) and a little more time in the First Steps/Lions room. I'm gearing up for my big move across the kitchen spending more time with children similarly situated to me, as my mom would say. I headed over around 10:30 to learn language arts (reading), matching farm animals on a puzzle, painting, dancing, learning Ring around the Rosie, pushing tractors around, and looking for worms in the grass and garden. My life skill was learning how to hang my coat up in my cubbie. It was an awesome day with challenges galore. It was so much fun!

Now about my visit with Dr. Manfredo. It was essential that I visit her as she is about ready to have her very own little boy in mid-November. So I wanted to get in to see her before she went out on maternity leave. She promised to only be gone for 8 weeks, but you never know these days. With regard to the visit itself, I got to sit in the scale, and was told that I now weigh 24 lbs, and 13 oz. Then they put this funny thing at the top of my head all the way down to my feet, and told me that I am 31 1/4 in. tall. And last but certainly not least, they measured how smart I was and I guess I'm 48 cm. smart (I think that means I'm brillant) or at least I can't fit normal shirts over my big brain. As for the rest of me, I'm in the 50% or just average...that's okay my big brain compensates for what's lacking.

And then the worst thing happened, I got stuck three times, yes THREE times! First I got the DTAP and HIB, and I thought I was all done creating drama. I walked up front to greet the girls, and low and behold the flu shots came in. So Dr. Manfredo asked if I wanted another shot. Over my protests, and only because its mandated by New Jersey law, I was vacinated against the flu. Oh the drama was in full effect and continued all the way to the front of the office, out the front door, and in the car half way home. I surely made it known that I was not in agreement with the flu shot. All I have to say is this vaccine better work!

I also overheard mommy and Dr. Manfredo discussing the H1N1 vaccine and I think i'm going to have to get that the next time; not if I have a choice in the matter.
