Tall and Skinny...3 year check up

Well, we took Caitlyn in for her 3 year check up today. Let me first just tell you how good it feels to go in for a typical doctors appointment with a special needs child!! Caitlyn did wonderful!! She is 39 inches tall (that's 3 feet 3 inches...At what point do we stop saying "she is ____ inches tall"?) and weighed 30.2 lbs. Her doctor was on with us with our concerns that she hasn't been able to keep on any weight in the last year. She has gained and lost the same 1 pound like 10 times! So, we are going to start her on some pediasure to try and get her to gain some weight!

We also got our script for diapers!!!! Yeah!!! Since she is 3 now, and diagnosed and registered with a disability we are eligible to have diapers payed for! We are very excited about this! Now if only we can get the insurance to pay for the pediasure which goes for about $8.50 for either 6 or 8 cans. (I can't remember) And if we start out at a can a day...that's 8.50 a week...*sigh* no one ever said parenting was cheep!

Caitlyn got her Chicken Pox shot today, and also had blood drawn. She cried a little with the shot. She cried when they drew her blood, not because there was a needle in her arm but because mommy was holding her still! She did great, and earned herself a trip to McDonalds for lunch! It isn't very often that we actually go inside...I admit, I don't particularly care for the stares that we get when our child starts screetching and screaming...Some days I can just laugh it off, but it seems like for some reason places we go have been oddly quiet lately! Well, today we gave it a shot. Caitlyn did great!!!!!!! She sat on the bench with no booster seat, and ate her lunch one bite at a time. I was really proud of her!

Since she did so good at McDonalds, I decided maybe we'd go hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's house to get a change of scenery! So Daddy dropped us off. (Our car broke down yesterday, so we are living with only one for now.) Caitlyn and I hung out, cuddled and found Cheetos at Grandma's house! (Caitlyn LOVES Cheetos!) Then we road the bus back home! Caitlyn thought that was the coolest thing of the whole day! Ah to be 3 and so easily pleased! She is such a joy to us!!

If you also follow the link to Mommy's Scrapbooking, please be advised that Mommy's computer is out of service until we can buy a new plug..."Toby was a blessing during his short stay with us, but he did chew on a lot of stuff!" I have to use Daddy's computer until we get a new plug, and all of my scrapbooking stuff is on mine!
