K-day stands for CRAPPY DAY!

Fruitcake went to her 'K-Day' appointment...aka...four shots! It's a special, fun, exciting visit with the doctor. What is it really?... It's a scary, torturous and painful hour of hell. Oh wait! But they bribe you with a TINY cup of chocolate milk (seriously, like a 2 oz. paper cup) and a cookie! They fail to mention that you'll leave the office, limping from the pain in both your legs, anticipating a fever in the next couple of days, and feeling rather violated... with a paper sack of toys and stickers.
No, she did great, only cried while she was getting the shots, then got over it quick.

My sweet Fruitcake is now more inches tall, than she weighs in pounds. That's 80% for height and 40% in weight. (and I wonder why her coordination struggles) She has 20/20 vision (which the doctor said is rare this early...they don't usually see that until kids are a bit older) When she was reading the chart, she called the circle a "tie-uh" (tire) and the triangle was a "ship". It sounded like this...
"ship, st-ah(star), haht(heart), tie-uh, st-ah, ship, tie-uh, haht... Each time she said "tie-uh" the nurse looked at me and smiled.
Pricked for Iron...and like her Mama, weirdly high amount of Iron. Not bad though... just not sure quite where all the Iron comes from. (we don't eat much meat)
She peed in a cup, which is a story in an of itself. You should have seen her face when I showed her the cup and told her the gig. She thought it was "dis-gus-tin"...which it is. But it was Sassy Pants who got the biggest kick out of it! She kept looking and me and repeating "ewww Mom! wha chah you do-wyn to huh?! Mom?! wha chah you do-wyn to huh?! SICK! GWOSS!" and loud enough for anyone and everyone in the office to her her yelling from inside the bathroom.
But, we were successful, and emerged with a cup full of pee Fruitcake was very proud of.
At the end...the Doc takes a picture with the poor child who has been through a rather invasive process (but before the shots!)
When they posed...Fruitcake shrugged her shoulders, tilted her head to the side (which is a typical pose for her) but then...she decided to place one arm around the back of his neck, and the other arm on his chest. WHAT?! It looked like a staged engagement photo pose, or a 'cruise ship' couples pose. The nurse and Dr. cracked up, and Fruitcake put her arms down a bit embarrassed. The nurse was laughing too hard, and missed the photo op. She was bent over, laughing... too bad, it would have been 'refrigerator worthy'. Instead... we have a picture of a sweet and embarrassed Fruitcake, and a laughing Dr.
nice.

Then came the shots.
They asked me to "pin her legs down, and hold her arms above her head". I hate this! I hate that she looks into MY eyes and has ME holding her while this is done.
I think I'd rather be the one to sneak a shot into her leg... I don't think she even noticed the nurses hiding under my arms shoving needles in her legs. Two shots in each leg!OUCH! She just felt the pain and saw ME. Did I mention that I HATE THAT!!!!

All-in-all a successful trip. She's now ready to roll. Enroll that is. Watch out Kindergarten...she's comin'!
