this brown eyed girl melts my heart. still.
most days she's a handful. but she's always entertaining. this girl is a HOOT!
she had her 4 year well check yesterday and she took those 4 shots in her legs like a champ. she did so good. we talked about it beforehand, so she knew she'd be getting shots. i was so proud of how well she did.
she was 44 lbs. 41 inches tall. she's taller than karsyn was at this age, which shocks the heck out of me. i really thought mykah was our short child. she definitely has a different body build than karsyn has. she's thicker. not fat. just thicker. big boned, maybe? karsyn has always been long and lean.
she passed her hearing test. good to know. and i'll use that in my defense often. and her eye test went well too.
i had to talk to the doctor about her health because, for the past month, she just hasn't acted well. and i've mentioned it to him before and his response was that if she wasn't well by her 4 year well check, then we'd do blood work to see what was going on. after i talked to him that time, i decided to change her diet. she still drinks lactaid milk. and i feed them rather healthy anyway, but i started forcing her to eat more fruits and veggies at every meal. more than what i normally gave them. and she fights it every time, but she's learning fast. and the change in diet seems to help some. the dark circles under her eyes aren't there and her color is returning. she's still pretty lazy, but i think that may just be her.
so we discussed all of that and he did say that her tonsils are swollen, so that she, most likely, has had mono and is on the tail end of it. definitely explains it. there's nothing to do at this point and hopefully she didn't infect anyone else. when she first got sick, i took her to urgent care for a sinus infection and she was on 7 days of antibiotics then. i'm definitely praying she's on the end of it and she'll be back to herself in no time.
she still doesn't seem 4 to me. how is she that old? how are any of my kids as old as they are? and why does time have to go by so fast. we are working on preschool stuff and she's doing so well. she does know all of her letters, so we're working on perfecting our writing of the letters. she's pretty smart and is a perfectionist too.
i love that she still likes to be the baby though. she still wants me to hold her. she still wants me to rock her. she still likes to snuggle. she's not a morning person, so those morning snuggles are guaranteed daily. and that thumb and "gankie" are still there. her personality is bigger than texas and i absolutely love that.
