Although I think she is extraordinary, according to the medical world, she is perfectly average. Alette just had her 6 year well-child visit and checked in at 46 1/2 lbs and 46 3/4 inches (50th and 75th percentiles). Those proportions have stayed the same since she was born. Her doctor encouraged her to try some veggies (no kidding), which she promised to do (yeah right). I was replaced as the source of comfort during the shot as she wanted Abria to hold her hand....The nurse told her to count to 5 and of course, gave her the shot on 2. To which Alette angrily replied, 'hey, you didn't let me get all the way to 5'. I offered to have the nurse give her another shot to make up for it. Alette got her lollipop treat, Abria got one for being encouraging, and hopefully, we don't see the doctor for another year.
