Today I took Rylee and Devynn to the doctor for their physicals. I knew going in that it was going to be a rough time with Devynn since she doesn't like people in general. I had no idea just how bad it would end up being though! Her melt-down started when the nurse tried to take her temperature (and it's the new kind of thermometer that they just roll across her forehead!!) and continued while she tried to weigh her and get her height. So much fun!! (And I don't think the meaurements came out accurately because they said she is in the 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight!?! I'm not thinking so!! ) She finally calmed down once we were in the room, but it started again the instant she saw the Doctor walk in. I don't think he had ever seen a child throw such a fit just to have her ears looked at!! He even laughed about the thought of me having to take her to the dentist!
Once he was all done, Devynn once again calmed down, but I knew that it would be short lived because the nurse was coming back in to give both girls shots. I honestly don't think Devynn even felt her shot because she had already worked herself up so bad. The nurse said that the other nurse and doctor had warned her about Devynn. How embarrassing that I have "that kid" that they warn each other about! :/
On the bright side though, Rylee did fantastic! She passed her hearing and vision tests with flying colors. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 40th for height. She was very nervous about getting her shots (she had to get 4 for kindergarten!), especially after witnessing Devynn's screams. She was such a trooper though, and she didn't even flinch once!! No tears. No tensing up. Nothing. My brave little girl!! :)
And this afternoon we went to the elementary school and got Rylee officially registered for kindergarten. I'm so sad that she is getting so big. What am I going to do with my RyRy Belle in school everyday?! I can't believe she's starting school already!!!
