Moving on up.......

Hello everyone, today Mom and Dad took me to see Dr. Sideridis at 7 am for my 6 month wellness check. We almost didn't get to see Dr. Sideridis since the front office messed up my appointment and didn't show me at all. The lady up front said that she would put us with another doctor but you know Dad.... consistency is key and besides he really likes Dr. Sideridis. Dad asked if they would reimburse them $10 since if the shoe was on the other foot they would have no problem charging us. In the end, it came down to Mom's bribery with the brownies that she had made for Dr. Sideridis's sweet tooth. The brownies encouraged the front lady feel sorry for us and squeezed us in (Mom's sales skills really helped us out here... either that or it was a good game of "good cop, bad cop" that helped). Dr. Sideridis was so nice when he came into our patient room and Mom and Dad were very thankful to him.

SO.... I'm moving on up.... in weight class and percentiles that is! My stats now show that I have a 17 1/4 inch head (48 percentile), 27 1/2 inches tall (75 percentile) and a weight of 18 lbs 12.8 ounces (70 percentile).

As always, I love hanging out with Dr. Sideridis.... he even let me play with his stethoscope so this time I decided not to pee on him :-). Of course the nurse came in with five shots and while I didn't feel the first one, I sure felt the last four!

I hope that none of you have to get any shots anytime soon and have a doctor as cool as mine!

Love,
Emerson
