Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry?

Around our household, a McDonald's milkshake makes things better after a doctor visit. Avalon's flavor choice is always chocolate.

Back in July 2008, her doctor appointment consisted of a LOT of shots, so we stopped off on the way home.

Then, in November of that same year, Avalon thought a faceplant on the daycare concrete step would be fun. Glue stitches at the ER were not so fun. But another trip through the drive-thru made it a little bit better.


And yesterday after getting blood drawn at the lab (7 viles!), a stop in the playland for an hour while sucking down a chocolate shake and a hot fudge sundae (that was my pick) made us both feel better.




The doctor feels she is a bit underweight for her age (always has been), so we are just making sure nothing is wrong. The pediatrician didn't seem concerned, just wanted to rule out a few things. Please keep her in your thoughts. Both that the tests come back negative and she starts eating more than tiny morsels! :)

  1. 7 viles! Oh the poor thing! That is definitely deserving of a milkshake. McDonalds is always a stop for us on the way home from the pediatrician's as well... nothing says I love you more than a happy meal and a milkshake.
    Will keep her in my thoughts.

  5. Will keep her in my thoughts for sure. Kids and eating can be very stressful in itself so I really hope that there is nothing more than just picky habits going on. Fingers crossed, keep us posted.
