kindergarten physical

On Wednesday, Scott's Mom came to watch Andrew while I took Evyn to the doctor for her 5 year well visit & kindergarten physical. Can you believe we have a school-aged child?!

Evyn was very nervous about the immunizations she needed for school. She didn't remember her last shots, which were at her 3-year well visit. She told me she wasn't feeling brave.

She did enjoy most of the appointment - the vision test, reflex check, and the play area in the waiting room. The office is in the midst of upgrading to an all-electronic filing system, which meant we had a 45 minute wait between the physical and the shots, while the staff figured out how to enter in our data. We killed the time with lots of silliness.... thank goodness I had my camera with me, to get Evyn's mind off the wait!










She did great for the first shot, but the next three -yes, 4 sticks! brutal- didn't go so well for her, and she told me on the way home (to a very hungry baby) that she's "never, ever going back there and doing that again!" We did stop at Rita's on the way home for a Cotton Candy Gelati, which soothed her spirit a bit.

oh yes, the kindy check- up. not looking forward to that AT ALL... We go to register Sophia at the end of the month, so I need to get my butt in gear and read the paperwork to see what we need to do to prepare. She had her Easter party at pre-school yesterday and their graduation is coming up here in a month or so. Then Victoria gets to go! I am looking forward to a quiet house (a couple of days a week anyway). Sophia is looking forward to riding the school bus with big sis Isabel. Where has time gone? Julie- I never knew your eyes were so light! You look fantastic and I hope everyone is well :) Happy Easter!

Ah, the good ol' kindy shots. Not a good day for parent or child, I'm afraid. David gets an extra one because I don't allow the varicella until then. Can't wait.

I love all your silly shots and it's so awesome to see your silliness in front of the camera because we both know how much I love silly!!! We love Rita's here too. YUMMMMM ;)

Happy Easter, Friend xoxo
