Madison had her four year check up today. She gained 3 (aff) 1/2 (aff) inches in the last year which puts her at 41 1/2 (aff) inches now. She also weighs 38 lbs. Developmentally, she is where she needs to be. As part of her physical, I had to get a urine sample. As many you may know, that requires peeing in a cup. The nurse told Madison she had to do this, and we started heading towards the bathroom. Halfway there Madison tells the nurse that she is going to pee all over her mom's hand and then starts giggling. I'm glad to report that didn't happen, but I could have died of embarrassment.
