Elise had her 2 year doctor's visit this afternoon. I was hopeful that everything would go well since we were seeing a female nurse-practitioner, rather than her regular male pediatrician, whom she is not fond of. Things were going well. Elise was in a good mood, despite missing naps over the last few days. When we were called back for the appointment, a male nurse assistant met us at the door. Oh boy....not good. But then I was pleasantly surprised when Elise stepped on the big-girl scale without incident to be weighed (29 1/2 lbs) and then volunteered to lay down on the table to have her height measured (34 5/8"). Wow! Impressive.
My surprise was short lived. After a few minutes with nurse practitioner Beth, Elise began to throw the biggest temper-tantrum I have ever seen. Red face, fists tight, screaming. She was not happy about having to take her shoes, pants and sweater off to be checked over. And this went on for the remainder of our appointment. It took me about 10 minutes to get Elise composed afterward so that we could leave. Lack of sleep definitely kicked in, hard!
Overall, Elise is very healthy. She's right where she needs to be on the growth charts and is exceeding expectations on her vocabulary and ability to be understood. She's one smart cookie.
