5 yr checkup

   Miss Kaya had her five year checkup yesterday. We normally do it the week of her bday but our drs offices moved and combined with another so the first opening was yesterday. Can say I like the new office and the drs staff. She kept some of her old and they added in the existing staff..very nice, down to earth nurses etc. Always nice when the nurse has kids as well. Makes it much easier to address concerns etc. Our pediatrician is wonderful and has a young child as well. She use to be a preschool teacher and decided to go back to school to be a dr. So she has alot of interesting info. 
   Kaya loved the new office and staff and it made the appointment even easier. 
  Stats:
height: 46 inches
weight: 54 lbs
  Dr B said she was one healthy, flexible/agile girl. She passed her eye test and her hearing test (she did have an issue with one tone, nothing serious but they noted it to keep an eye on it). She did great on her paperwork etc. She was very happy that Kaya is a milk and water drinker and said to have more water during the day. She talked about healthy snacks and limiting snacks. Kaya is a great eater but our big thing we deal with is she doesn't want to eat breakfast till she's been out of bed for awhile. That sets off her whole days schedule then she wants to snack after supper. So we are going to approach it in a different light and see how it works. Kaya is very lucky that she is so dang tall (a normal five year old girl is only 40 to 42 inches tall!!! Kaya's height is more on track with a 9 yr old!!!! girl). But a clean bill of health all around, assurance we were doing a good job etc.
  We talked to the dr about Kaya's stubbornness about taking things from her mind to paper. She will write, doodle etc until we have her sit down to do her "homework" then after 5 minutes she's done and can't do it or doesn't want to do it. The dr said all kids go through stages with things and probably Kaya feels nervous and afraid of messing up so she just stops doing it. 
  We had a discussion about preschool and options as well as school in general.
  All in all a good appointment, good results but she had to have 3 LARGE boosters in her legs. She was not happy that she got only 2 stickers lol when the old office use to give her a sucker, sticker and a toy lol We explained to her that all offices do things differently and praised her for being brave for such big shots. All 3 were in her legs so she's a bit stiff legged today but feeling ok.
  We treated her to lots of park time (which also was good to use her legs and keep them from being so sore) and an icecream from Jiffy Treat. Then home to play more.
