My Little Girl

Ava had her well-child check today at the doctor.  We actually skipped her three year one and she won't be four until October 1st, but we needed the paper work for the kids' new child care center.  The doctor checked her all out and then had her draw some shapes, a person, count to ten, and asked if she knew her abc's and colors.  She said everything looked great!  Ava weighs 34 pounds (49th percentile) and is 40 3/4 inches tall (81st percentile).  She was awful worried about getting a shot since she saw how hard Brecken cried when he got his.  But she had to get one.  She cried before, during and after.  Poor girl!  Her prizes were two princess stickers and an ice cream certificate from the doctor and then she decided we should go to the mall and ride the rocket.  The littlest things can make a girl happy!  :)
One more thing on Ava...I took her with me to my annual dermatologist appointment last week because Erick and I were concerned about a spot on her face.  We noticed it last summer when she was real tan.  It's like she has lost pigment in a spot.  You can't really tell in the winter since she gets pale, but we can see it again this summer and it looks like it has spread.  The doctor used a black light and said she thought it was vitiligo.  So we now have some cream to put on it twice a day in hopes that the pigment will come back.  Our fingers are crossed!
I'm helping Ava work in her new preschool workbook right now.  She knows a lot more letters than I thought!  Off to play/work with my baby girl!
