This morning, Janie went to see the doctor for her 3-year check-up.
Every time we go back, the school bus toy in the waiting room seems a lot smaller.
Now that she’s 3 years old, she gets weighed on the big scale.
The nurse also measured her height in standing and Janie did a good job being still for the measurement even though she was very scared of the whole experience. Look at that worried expression on her face.
Here is how she measured up:
Weight: 33 lbs (74th percentile)
Height: 36.75 inches (44th percentile)
Another new thing she experienced was getting undressed in the room and putting on the big kid paper gown. Initially she refused to take her clothes off but she came around and tolerated the gown quite well.
She read a Winnie the Pooh book while we waited for the doctor. Once she arrived, she got her ears, eyes, heart, lungs, and tummy checked. She also refused to talk to the doctor – again. The doctor always has to trust that we are not reporting any speech delays because if it were up to her examination, Janie would be a mute.
At the end, she got a red lollipop and was so happy. However, still not happy enough to perform for the doctor. According to the doctor, she is growing well. We also registered Peanut for this office and will get to see his big sister’s doctor too. Hopefully by the time he arrives, Janie will be more willing to talk and interact with the doctor.
