Dr Mary's for Immunisation Today!

Mummy and daddy are on 1/2 day leave today. Guess why? Yup, it's time to see Dr Mary again. Nope, your not sick and no, no nasty insect bite. You're over 1 year old, so time for your chickenpox injection. Oww...

We arrived around 10am but Dr Mary was still not around, so we left your card at the clinic before going for breakfast.

When we got back to the hospital, it was almost your turn. While waiting for your turn, you had a "walk" around the paediatric clinic. Daddy even let you play on the slide there! You seemed to enjoy yourself. Soon, the nurse opened the door and called you.

Casually, you "strolled" into Dr Mary's room... with daddy holding on to you of course.. Dr Mary took some of your measurements and these are your vital statistics at 13 months (minus 5 days, to be exact):
Weight: 9.5kg
Height: 73cm
Head Circumference: 47cm

Soon it was time for your injection. Of course you yelled when she rubbed the alcohol on your thigh, and yelled even louder when she poked you. But thankfully, it was all over in a jiffy and you soon calmed down, although a bit manja. Poor little guy.

After that we went to Citibank for mummy to pick up the cheque book and we we're on our way home. You fell asleep 5 minutes before we reached home. And since you didn't sleep the whole morning, you slept for more than an hour. We didn't get to see you before going back to work.

But when we arrived home from work, you were your usual cheerful self. All excited to see us when we saw you. Best of all is that adorable grin along with the excited squeal of delight from you the moment you see us. You make even the worst day seem wonderful whenever we see you.
