Nervous Elly

Yesterday at the doctor's office, I was amazed to see Ellena's response to being in an unfamiliar place with strangers. She hated being poked and prodded and being naked except for her diaper. She was nervous! So here are all the physiological responses she had:

* serious face - no smiles
* when the Dr. was talking, El started crying
* when sitting, she was hunched over, as if trying to curl into a protective shell
* sweaty feet, hands and armpits - clammy!
* when sitting, she would look at me and say, "mama" in a pleading voice
