Today Analese had her 4 year well child visit. As part of this visit, she had vision and hearing screenings. She passed the hearing screening, but her right eye was slightly weaker than expected. We have been referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist and she has an appointment next Monday. She does not have the best eye genetics. She weighed in at 37.5 pounds and was 41 inches tall. The bad part of this visit was the "poky medicine." She had to get three shots in her legs. She was so brave, but I don't think she fully realized what was happening. She cried, of course. And she had fresh waves of tears for the next hour or so. When we left the doctors office, we took her birthday money to Toys R Us for a shopping spree. That perked her back up a little.

Sounds like a fun birthday! Both Michael and Katie go to a pediatric opthalmologist so let me know if you have any questions.
Looks like fun! Shopping makes girls of all ages feel a little better. :)
Sorry for the shot. Glad she could go shopping and get distracted from the "ouies".
What a fun birthday. Sorry for the shot though. Cooper has his 4 year appt tomorrow and he has already been asking if he is getting a shot or not. I guess I had better be prepared with some type of treat after his appointment.
My kids love those mardi gras beads, too! Glad she is having a fun birthday filled with gifts! And, I am not looking forward to Nathan's 4 yr well visit, that is a lot of shots.
4 already, sniff, sniff. I'm glad she had a good birthday and that she's healthy.
I'm interested to see how Michael does on the eye check at his 4 year appointment. I'm pretty sure it's a matter of when, not if he'll need glasses.
Sounds like a great birthday but not looking forward to the shots for Maggie.
