Well, as I just got through recovering from the first "real" Halloween celebration with our now THREE YEAR OLD(!!) daughter, I found my way in here to deal with another slew of spammer jerks plaguing the site. So sorry for the lack of work on this site, but the spammers and other work/life/stuff has gotten in the way for both Amy and I. It's been tough to move My Baby FAQ up the list of things to do.

I just decided to drop a note, but I don't have much else to say. I guess I'll plop some more info here if anyone's interested...

Today marked the day for our daughter's three year doctor's visit and all went fine. The third year visit turns out to be wonderfully easy, since there aren't a slew of vaccines and tests to run. Last year was a bit burly and I read that the fourth year really sucks, with at least four (!) vaccines for various stuff.

The only bump in the road was a flu shot for today, which started out with the usual screaming and tears, until I worked it out with her that the poor nurse (they must hate giving those shots) was just giving her some special medicine that hurts at first, but then it will help her not be sick later. She thought that was kind of neat after more thought. I then encouraged her to track down the nurse to tell her "thank you for the medicine", which prompted a long (well, long for a 3-year old... so, a few minutes) discussion about how she was thankful for the medicine so she could get the pretty red bandage and so she would "feel much better" now. It seemed to be much appreciated by the nurse.

Anyway, she's been doing very well and we're all holding on for our dear lives. It's been a wild ride, to say the least! I'll see what I can do to facilitate some updates and more content on this site. We'll do our best, but not sure what I can work out at this point... time, she's a precious commodity.

Thanks for visiting. Let us know if there's anything we can help share with you to assist in some way.
