Doctor Who

We thought we were going in for a simple, standard, nothing-out-of-the-ordinary recommended-for-toddlers TB test, only to realize she was due for two more shots.

Owwwieeee, she cried, and bravely took it in her stride. (Am I rhyming again?!) But I have to say Kayla was very well-behaved at the doctor's today. She no longer cries when taking her weight (below average at 25 percentile again) and height (slightly below average), and even managed a "Hi" and "Bye" to the nurse that poked her in her thigh and pricked the skin on her arm with a needle. She did well with the doctor who was surprised to hear her say "Doctor". And this time, to my chagrin, Mikey didn't defend Kayla when the doc asked how many words she could say now. "5 to 15?" Yea, was Mikey's weak reply. I guess it really doesn't matter, but she probably knows more than 200 words now. And she started to coin phrases and sentences together just last week.

"Hi Grandma" was the first. "Diaper change" came next...and today she sang the first line of "Weng Weng Weng Xiao Mi Feng" ( a song she picked up in Singapore. It's my nephew's lullabye).

Will keep it short since I'm down with a nasty stomach flu. I'm hoping to take Kayla to the park tomorrow for more swing, slide and action in the sand.
