Savannah Update

Just a quick little update on our sassy Savannah Grace.

5 Year Doctor's Appointment:
Date: January 8 (5 years and 2 months)
Weight: 46 lbs
Height: 43 inches
Vision: 20/20
Hearing: perfect in both ears (shocking, I know!)
She received 3 shots in her thighs and the flu mist.  This was Savannah's best doctor's visit to date!!  Normally she freaks out and starts screaming/crying when the nurse tries to get her weight and height.  This takes place in the first 2 minutes.  However, this time she was totally composed and very pleasant throughout the entire visit.  She chatted with both the nurse and Dr. Johnson and answered all their questions.  Even Dr. Johnson commented on what a change this visit was compared to all previous visits when he could hear her screams from the moment she entered the office.  She was even prepared for the shots.  I explained that she had to get them in order to go to kindergarten so she put on a brave face and lied down quietly.  Unfortunately after the first shot went in, she broke down.  It's been a while since her last rounds of shots and I guess she had forgotten how much they hurt.  She managed to pull herself together and still easily get the flu mist.  I was beyond proud of our little lady!  Her legs were a little sore the rest of the day and she immediately told her teachers the next morning that she couldn't run very fast due to the shots.  But by the afternoon she was back to normal and she told everyone that she's now all ready to go to kindergarten.  Too bad I'm not quite ready for her to go.  Thankfully I still have eight more months to prepare myself before sending her off.

I really am amazed at how big/old she is getting.  I blinked and she went from a chunky, babbling toddler to a slim, chatty almost kindergartener.  Where have these five years gone??!!  I am soooo not ready for what lies ahead!
