I've never had the pleasure of wearing a gown this cute

When Macy had her five year old checkup, I swore to her there'd be no shots. I did tease her and said that I'd have Dr. Leslie check her ears since she isn't always a good listener. :-)

This was the 1st appt. where she had to:
~ listen for the beeps for the hearing test,
~ cover one eye to read the eye chart
~and most certainly, the first time she donned a paper gown and was told to strip down (ok, not in those words) and leave her panties on.

Oh yes.

When Macy got dressed, Paige grabbed the gown to "dess up". And she was not happy until she schlepped herself on the exam table just like Macy had been.

Then Dr. Leslie informed us that their dr's office requires blood work for the 5th birthday checkup. As in sticking-a-needle-in-my-child-when-I-promised-her-no-needles-today.

And a urinalysis (guess who held the cup...).

It was a beating but nothing that a Happy Meal w/a Dr.Pepper couldn't fix.

Because, really, what can't a cold Dr.Pepper fix?
