So, I took Amers in today for her checkup. She was complaining about her knee a lot, so I thought I’d go ahead and do it. Also, we are starting her in day care two days a week in the fall and I wanted to be sure she was up to date on her shots.
She weighs 28 lbs and is 36 inches tall. She is right at the 50th percent tile for weight and the 75th for height. Everything looks good, she is right on target for all her milestones. My babies have always had LARGE heads, but since Amy’s has slowed growing enough to no longer be off the charts, they won’t measure that any more. She did GREAT during the exam. They pricked her finger and she just watched them get the blood, and then she offered them her other hand when they were done. She did get upset when they gave her a shot, but who can blame her!!! She stopped crying when I told her she could have a sucker. She got one for E, too. So cute, “Dis for me and dis for Izzy.”
I asked Dr. Amy to check on her left knee, as she has been complaining about it a LOT. She said that she thought she might have twisted it, or that it might be falling asleep. We are to give her Motrin twice a day for a week or so in case she did twist it—that will take down any swelling. If it turns red, she starts limping, or we see a knot or anything, we have to bring her back ASAP, but she didn’t think that would happen.
She also gave up some sleep advice. She thinks that Amy is in a sleep pattern that makes her wake up every night, so we will try to break that.
After we were done, we went to Sonic so that Amy could have a grilled cheese. She didn’t even want to eat it when she got back to Memaw’s, just wanted to go to sleep.
In other news, Elizabeth finished her math tests!!! Perfect score on all five of them on the first try!!! The majority of the class is still on test 1. I really do feel sorry for them. I mean, there is only so much the teacher can do. How hard would it be for their mom or dad to spend FIVE MINUTES a day to help them study for these tests? I guess this is just hard for me to comprehend. Growing up, education/school was the absolute #1 priority at our house, so I just can’t fathom not do everything you can to help your kids succeed.
Elizabeth went to the park today with her class. She was SO excited this morning. She was in my room at 6am asking if it was time to leave yet. When we finally got to school, I hardly had the car stopped before she was jumping out. I hope that they had a GREAT time. She has two more weeks of school. I am SO READY for summer!!!!
