Ally had her 18 month checkup today. I scheduled it so that I could pick her up right after lunch and get her back right around nap time. Usually, I get her back around lunchtime, and she falls asleep on the way. Then we have to coax her awake to eat lunch. When I got to day care, she was mostly finished with lunch, but had 1 fish star left. I told her we were going, so she grabbed it and slid off her chair. We got to the Dr office, and she had little pieces of fish breading everywhere. The Dr says everything is fine. She's 45% weight and height (25 lb and 31 3/4 in) for her age. She got 2 shots given by the nurse I like. Last time she got shots, the nurse was terrible. Ally still has a lump in her thigh from one. (The Dr said it's not standard, but not uncommon. He said it's soap. Basically the fat in her thigh reacted to the vaccine liquid and solidified like soap. Reminded me of Fight Club. It should go away within the next couple years, but might not ever. Strange. That nurse will never come near Ally with a needle again.) This time, Ally started crying, but basically got over it when I opened the door and told her we were leaving. She walked out with me and got mad when I wouldn't let her leave through the fire exit. Then, of course, she didn't fall asleep on the way back to day care for the first time ever. She cried and cried when I left her.
