Doctor

I took the kids to the Doctor for well child appointments. Trig needed shots and Josie had been complaining of stomach pain for quite some time. We have been playing doctor at our house so Josie was really excited to go to the doctor and get a shot and a sticker. She cried when I told her she didn't need a shot, she was just sure that was the only reason you went to the doctor. When we got inside we both had another thing coming...
They checked Trig first he weighed 29 pounds which is average, has a big head, and is very tall for his age. He is healthy and funny. He got three shots followed by a sucker so he was happy. Next they checked Josie, she weighed 24 pounds. She isn't on the charts for weight or height her head in like 30%. The doctor looked at her eyes, ears, and rubbed her stomach.
He turns to me and says, "I'm really worried about her size, I wouldn't be so concerned if her brother wasn't a line backer".
In my mind I flipped out, I know doc I've been telling you that for three years, weird that it's today you decide to care.
Anyway he was worried about her stomach and wanted to test her for a bunch of stuff. Instead of a shot she got a blood draw (way more scary and way more painful when your three). I think the purple wrap they wrapped around her arm to stop the bleeding was hurting her worse than the actual hole but she wasn't letting me touch it for nothing. Finally I held her down and ripped it off when we got in the car and she never said another word about it.
All her tests came back normal but he still wants to do a few more things just to make sure we aren't ignoring an internal problem.

I'm guessing next time she isn't going to be so excited about going to the doctor, even if they do offer her a sticker.

I really hope its obvious that this is not Josie, me, or our nurse but just a googled picture to give you an idea of what we went through.
