I brought my new backpack over to Barbara's.  She wrote my name on the name tag.  I transferred my change of clothes from my old backpack to my new one.  I also put my homework folder and my basketball sweat band in the bag so it is ready for me to go to school tomorrow.  I'll add my lunch bag in the morning after my lunch is in it.  My orange basketball shirt is clean and laid out ready for school tomorrow.

I age my lunch while sitting on the living room floor using my little Sponge Bob tray, a birthday gift.  GGM and I played with my golf set, a birthday gift.

It was a routine day except I kept asking when we would leave for my doctor's appointment.  It was not until 3:10pm so I asked many times and each time I was told it would be much later in the day.

Finally we got to the doctor's appointment.  We met Mommy there.

 The new nurse's name is Naja.  I am 41.5 inches tall (75 percentile).

I weighed 32 pounds (66 percentile).  Dr. Lacour projected that I might be 6" 1" tall and weigh about 160.   My blood pressure and temperature were normal.

 For the first time I had my hearing...

... and my eyes checked.  Everything checked out well.

Dr. Lacour gave me a through exam.  My only problem is my feet are a little bit flat.  I think I get that from my dad.  Other than that I am in great shape.  It is fine for me to keep getting a small daily dose of Merilax.

As Dr. Lacour was putting on his stethoscope Barbara told him how I sometimes close my eyes when using my stethoscope when we are playing doctor.  Then I told Dr. Lacour I do that because he closes his eyes when he uses the stethoscope on me.  Dr. Lacour smiled and said, "Yes, I sometimes do that."

When the nurse was ready to come in and give me some shots, Dr. Lacour said it was time for him to leave so he could remain the good guy.    The nurse held down my legs and Mommy held my hands while I was given FIVE shots, four immunizations and one flu shot.

 I didn't cry out loudly, but a couple of the shots hurt and I did cry but just barely.

It only took a few seconds to all be over with and by the time I was sitting up I was okay.  I did want my mom to carry me down the hall, but by the time I got a sticker from the receptionist, I was running and back to normal.  I will not get any more immunizations until I am eleven years old!  These shots did not make me sick.
