Morgan's First Mani/Pedi!

Today Morgan had to go to the doctor for her 5-year check up. She was totally fine with the doctor visit, but was terrified that she was going to have to get shots. She kept asking me if she would get shots, I told her she had to take it up with the doctor :). When the doctor told her she was going to have to have shots, she turned to me and said "I told you if I had to have shots, I'M LEAVING!" It was all Mom and I could do not to laugh. So while we were waiting for the nurse to come in with the shots, Morgan was trying desperately to find a way out of the room. First she asked me to open the window so she could crawl out. When I told her there were no locks to open the window, the following conversation ensued:

Morgan: "Mommy, why don't you go get a bomb, and you can put it right here (gesturing to the corner) and we can blow a hole in the wall here and I can climb out"

Me (snickering): "And just where do you want me to get a bomb?"

Morgan: "At the bomb store!"

We waited almost 10 minutes until the nurse came in. At this point Morgan was hiding behind my mother instructing us that we were to tell the nurse that she wasn't there. Unfortunately for her, she was "found" and then the real work began. Morgan began pleading with the nurse, in a scream, not to give her shots while huge crocodile tears ran down her face. It took me and two nurses to hold her down. She was "that kid" that you hear from 6 doors away who is screaming about shots. What was funny was as the first shot went in, she INSTANTLY stopped crying and said "Oh, that didn't hurt!". What a kid.

Stats for our 5 year old: 46 lbs (80th percentile), 44 inches (85th percentile). Her doctor estimates that she will be approximately 5'6" when she gets older. Taller than Mama!

So after such a traumatic start to the day, Mom decided to treat all the girls to manis and pedis! Mom and I opted only for pedicures, but Morgan went all out on her first mani/pedi experience.



Picking out her polish for her fingers....pink. Purple for the toes, of course.

It was a super fun trip to do with my girly girl. I hope there are many more of these to come in the future!
