4 Year Well Child Visit

My doctor has a new office. It's close to the hospital where Mason and I were born. Mason's been there, but today was my first time. I got weighed and measured.
  • height: 41.5 in (76 %ile)
  • weight: 39 lbs (75 %ile)
When we got the exam room, the nurse asked me to change into an exam gown. That was the first. Mommy's sad that she didn't take a picture. Maybe she'll have another chance next year.

My doctor came in to examine me. I played a game where I touched her finger then my nose. I was so good that she asked me to close my eyes and do it. So, I did. She was pretty impressed. I have no idea what she was testing, but it was fun. Unlike Mason, I was calm and laid back the entire time. My doctor told mommy that I was "perfect."

After my exam, it was time to have my vision and hearing tested. We tried a chart with the alphabet letters, but then the nurse decided to do a chart with a bunch of Es pointing in different directions. I'm happy to say that my vision is 20/20. However, I had to repeat my hearing test.

The nurse told me to raise my hand when I heard sounds through the headphones. When she started the test, I never raised my hand. So, she asked me if I understood the instructions. To make sure that I understood, mommy and the nurse demonstrated what I was supposed to do. After that, I got it and passed my hearing test. If I had failed, mommy would know why I sometimes don't listen.

I ended my visit with two immunization shots. I didn't cry at all. Go me!

After my appointment, mommy and I grabbed a snack at Starbucks before she dropped me off at school. I was really disappointed when we got to school because I was hoping I'd get to spend the entire day with mommy.
