The girls had their yearly checkup before school. Trey and Michael spent the night last night, so they got to go with us. Everyone acted really well during it all. It was a long appointment, so I was pretty impressed.
Alexa doesn't need to get a shot until she is 11, but Maren was asked if she wanted her 4 shots and her blood drawn now, to wait until she was 5 or to split them up. She opted to get them right now. She was such a big girl too. You could tell it hurt her, but she didn't want to cry in front of Trey and Michael. It took them forever to get that little vial of blood too. They had to keep squeezing her finger. Now we know she doesn't have diabetes. I didn't think she did, but they went ahead and tested her. She also got to pick out 5 toys from a special drawer they had, because they said she was so brave.
Alexa's checkup was pretty simple. They just looked her over. However, they did discover she had an ear infection, so we had to get her on medicine. It was perfect timing, because we are about to get on an airplane and fly. Luckily her medicine will be working by then, so it won't be painful.
