injection

We brought Esther for her scheduled MMR injection at the Polyclinic just across the road. As usual, she will explore the surroundings and it so happened that there were 2 nurses on training who were mesmerized by this 15mth old female toddler who kept staring and smiling at them. When the needle went in, Esther with her high threshold of pain wailed for just a couple of seconds before recomposing her usual cheerful self. When they took her height, weight and head circumference and plotted it on a graph of toddler of her age, her height and head circumference was in the top 97%. Her weight is in the 75% range which is not surprising. Considering the fact that Angela and I have always been around that range as far as our weight is concerned, that is not new news. If any of you were to see the amount of food she consumes daily, you might wonder where did all the food go to.
