Elliot's 4 Year Questionaire & A few Tid Bits

Elliot had her 4 year check up at the doctor today. The 4 year well check is a doozie. They get lots of shots at this one. I've taken Perry & Davis to a few appointments prior to this one & each time the doctor made sure to inform me that the 4 year well check is going to be a tough one. So with this in mind, I prepared Elliot by telling her ahead of time about the shots & what they would feel like, etc. She was such a champ. She was so cute when the doctor was talking to her. She had the biggest smile on her face the entire time and was giggling. I was surprised that she wasn't scared. When the time came for the shots, we found out it would only be 3 (I had told her 6). So that was good. As they were giving them to her I had her take deep breaths, which helped her a lot. More than anything, it made her focus on that instead of the needle. And then she was done! No crying at all. I was totally expecting to carry her out of the office bawling & to take her to get ice cream to cheer her up. But since she didn't put up a fuss, I skipped the last part :)

They also did a vision test. Before they started, they asked her to identify 2 symbols (flag & "t"), just to make sure she knew them. And she did. Then she went through them & I about died laughing whenever the nurse pointed to the "t" (the 2nd time) as Elliot responded, "a wish". What the heck was she talking about? And every time the nurse pointed to it from them on, it was "a wish". It was hilarious. I didn't want to interfere & say, "now Elliot, you know what that is." I just let it happen. At least she was consistent.
