Four Year Check-Up

We just returned from Angie's check up.

Height= 37 Inches
Weight= 27 1/2 pounds

Still small. The Doctor says not to worry because she is still plotting along just below the chart but the curve is the right shape so she considers it to be Angie's own curve.

Eyes are good, although Angie started to play her game of pretending she doesn't know or see. Her heart and blood pressure are fine. Angie is such a good eater that we don't need to worry about vitamins. Maybe look into some calcium for her since she doesn't drink milk.

The Doctor was really pleased that Angie could draw a circle a plus sign (or an x depending on the angle you looked at it). She tried to think of something else to have Angie draw and Chas suggested a person. The Doctor was impressed that Angie could do all the facial features (dots and lines) as well as arms and legs. She said, "Wow that's five-year old stuff!"

At the end Angie said, "Thank you for giving me a check-up!" And then when she was dressed again, Angie started saying, "Yay! Everything is back to normal again!"

I love our pediatrician. She is wonderful with Angie and she makes everyone feel comfortable. She told us that she has a four month old daughter and we chatted about that. The Doctor said, "So being a mom will hopefully make me an even better Doctor." I don't see how that is possible.

Angie was very excited to see the Mickey Mouse stickers at the end of the visit. She is quite fond of the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, for now anyway.
