Just an update on Isabelle's growth stats. She is in the 50% for both height and weight 39# and 42 3/4 ". She gained 5 lbs and grew 3 and half inches since last year. She also was very brave for her remaining two shots and lead test. She started crying the day before when I told her and said she was getting hot. Poor thing. The agreement was if she was still she would get ice cream, that didn't happen last time so no ice cream. Sounds mean but they did get happy meals, but no ice cream. This time, she cried but held still, she would start to freak then say " ok ok" and calm down. After the finger prick which scared her the most she thanked the nurse with a tear stained face and said with determination. " This time I'm going to get ice cream!!" She endured and reaped the benefit. I was so happy for that she pulled through and chose to control her fears. I think it's a good life lesson so that she won't let fear paralize her and sometimes in life you have do something a little painful or scary but the reward is well worth it and you get sense of " I CAN do it!!" God does give us the grace to get through the day He has planned for us.
For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer 29:11

Yikes. I've already warned Ella that she has to get a shot for her 4 year check up and she seems okay with it for now. Never thought about the ice cream trick. I think I might actually just do GUM...they thing GUM is the best thing since sliced bread. Next week. Yikes.
