Even after four shots and a finger prick-and-squeeze, Atticus still had it in him to hug Mrs. Charlotte. Then, at least. Later this evening, when I mentioned that he really liked her, he said, “Yeah, but I don’t like her shots!”

Today was the day for his school physical because he’s eligible for kindergarten this fall.

I still can hardly believe my “baby” is heading to school soon. It seems like just yesterday that we were cradling him, changing him, and feeding him bottles. The older you get, the faster time seems to fly.

By the way, Charlotte Williams is pediatric nurse practitioner at Piedmont Primecare next to the mall in Danville, and she is AWESOME!

She spent so much time with Attie! She listened to him sing two songs (the “Our Father” and the Latin “Ave Maria”) and was so impressed that she wanted him to sing for the other doctors and nurses afterward. She was so sweet and kind and really made our whole visit much less painful — as always. She is highly recommended!
