Quinn's 3-year Check Up

Quinn had her 3 year check up today and all is well! She continues to be off the chart in height and weight (41 inches tall, 44 pounds) and her doctor assures me that she is just a big girl, not over-weight or obese or anything, so I'm happy about that!

She was very brave and was so cute at this appointment. I wish I would have remembered to bring my camera (I'm slipping - actually, I've been downloading pictures all morning so left it on the desk). I did get a picture on my cell phone but don't have picture mail so have no idea how to get it off of there! She got to wear a gown at this appointment and thought that was really cool! Here are some comments she made during her visit:

To Sydney after we got into the exam room:
"Sydney, this is mmmyyyyyy check up not yyyooouuurrrr check up!"

After laying down to get measured:
"Wow! That's where my feet were and that's where my head was. I'm sure a big girl!"

After the nurse took her blood pressure:
"Wow! That was cool!"

After she put on her gown:
"Wow! I get to wear a paper dress! Sydney, this is mmmyyyy paper dress, not yyyooouuurrr paper dress."

To the nurse when asked if the toy she brought was her friend:
"No, that's not my friend. It's a monkey - it's just a toy. Mom, can you put my monkey in your purse? That's Sydney. She's my sister friend. Aren't you silly girl?!"

To Sydney after the nurse left but before the doctor came in:
"Sydney, this is mmmyyyy check up, not yyyoooouuurrrr check up."

To the doctor when asked what her favorite vegetable was:
"I llllooooovvvveeee carrots!"

To the doctor when asked if she had any questions:
"I just tell Sydney that this is mmmyyyy check up, not hhheeerrr check up. She's just a silly girl! Aren't you sister girl?!"

After the doctor leaves and we are waiting for the nurse to come back to give the Hep A shot:
"I'm naked (she had her underwear, socks and gown on)! Look at me (running with her gown opened) - I'm a super hero! I'm a naked super hero! I'm going to get a shot. It's just going to hurt a little bit. I'm not going to cry. Sydney, I'm a super hero!"

When the nurse comes in to give the shot:
"I just tell Sydney that this is mmmmyyyy check up - it's not hhheeerrr check up."

Upon receiving the shot:
"OOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHHH!" Oh, I get a blue sticker (band-aid)! That's my favorite one to color with!"

Upon receiving a sucker after her shot:
"Thank you - I really love the red ones! Can Sydney have one too?"

And in the car on the ride home:
"That nurse hurt me! Maybe you should make me pancakes for dinner!"
