Hailey's Five Years Well-Check

Today Hailey had her yearly wellness check-up. She is growing up so quickly. She has gained 4 1/2 pounds and grown 2 inches taller since her wellness check-up last year. The Nurse Practioner had all kinds of questions for Hailey to answer. They were mainly dealing with safety. I couldn't believe how well she answered. She knew what to do in case of fire, medical emergancy, and how to deal with stangers. I guess that private pre-school is paying off:). The NP also asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. Hailey replied, " a scientist.". The NP then asked "what kind of scientist". Hailey said, "one that watches things grow and know about sea animals". I don't know if Hailey has ever given me a reply to that question before. I was so surprised at how intelligently she answered the question, but at the same time, I was not surprised at all. Anyone who knows Hailey knows that she LOVES mermaids and everything to do with the ocean! She decided that at the ripe age of 1 and has never changed her mind. I came out of the doctor's office thinking that I can't believe she has already developed so much personality at the age of five! Of course, I know that she is likely to change her mind, but just the fact that she has decided all of this by her self and with such confidence really impressed me. I don't think I ever thought that much about any one thing when I was her age. You are such a special little girl Hailey. Mommy and Daddy love you!
