She’s a Trooper
Lexi had her 2-year check-up today. She’s 29 lbs & 2′9″ tall. She loved sitting up on the table and have the doctor poke and prod at her. I think her favorite part was that light they shine in your eyes/nose/ears/mouth. She even convinced the doctor to do it again. She also had to get her toe pricked for two blood tests. One was a hemogloben check and the other was to get a baseline on the lead count (or something like that). Basically, a precaution for all the recalls on toys with lead paint, etc. She only had to get her toe pricked once but the nurse has to fill up two vials of blood by catching each little drip. The whole process took about 5 minutes. Lexi just sat in my lap, sucked her thumb and occasionally commented that it tickled. The nurse actually commented that it takes less time if they are screaming because the blood is flowing faster. Then she had to get a shot. She almost had a melt down but quickly recovered quickly at the promise of a sticker.
