5-Year Old Well Visit

Miss Madeleine turned 5 in January, but she just went for her well visit today. Since her birthday falls right in the middle of cold and flu season, we decided to wait until the Spring to get her checked out and avoid the germs. Last year Dr. Moore asked her what her home address and phone number was, and she did not know them. Being the little over-achiever that she is, she has been working for the past few months on memorizing this information. Today in the car she told me that if there was a fire at her school, she would be the only one who knew how to call her parents...funny what they think of. Anyway, our little baby girl had a glowing report of health. Her stats were: 97% for height and 90 % for weight. At first I questioned the weight because she is skinny in my opinion, but the percentile is related to her age and not her height. According to the doctor she is on track to be at least 5'9'' or 5'10''.  I am sure there are worse fates in life than long skinny legs for a girl. Apparently Madeleine has amazing flexibility as well. I have no idea where she got her ability to tumble and flip because it surely wasn't from her mom or dad. She really wants to take gymnastics next year, and we are considering it. Her height will not let her do it for long, but it might be fun for a few more years. We thank God for our healthy baby girl. She brings so much sunshine into our lives. We love you Madeleine!
