Pleasant doctor's visit

We have had the crud around our house for a while. It's seems like we just get rid of it when it starts back up. Well, this time it brings with it an ear infection. I think it's pretty good that it's Chloe's first ever since she's almost four. We've been pretty lucky with ear infections, and thankfully she's not hurting much. We went to the doctor this morning and got medicine, so she should be feeling better in a day or two. The most amazing thing happened at the doctor's office. Chloe wasn't terrified! She stood on the scale by herself,(I was getting tired of having to get weighed every time!) let them take her temperature, and...she opened her mouth! That is a HUGE deal for her! We normally have to pry it open, and it's very tramatic for all involved. I don't wish for her to grow up too quickly, but there are advantages to her being a little older. I guess she gave up holding onto her shirt (see previous post), but she can handle going to the doctor. It was a nice experience for a change!
