Alex had his 5-year-old checkup this morning and it was an amazing experience. It was as if he drove hinself there. He was answering all the doctors questions...his address, vegetables he likes to eat (broccoli, tomatoes, spinach), fruits he likes (apples, strawberries, pears), what kinds of meat he likes (sausage, meatballs, chicken), he wrote his name, he drew shapes, he counted, hearing is good, eyes are working. The best part was Gemma answering all the questions for herself. Daddy said, "Gemma this is Alex's appointment." Gemma said, "oh sorry. I will just sit in the waiting chair."
The worst part is that Alex needed his final two pediatric vaccines...even though Gemma promised him he wouldn't get any shots on the way there. He was so betrayed. We went to Lilipies after we left to let him get any treats he wanted.
