3 Year Check-Up

Jack saw Dr. Ubell today. It was so different from any other appointments he's had. The nurse took him to a different area of the clinic to take his blood pressure, get his weight and measure his height. It was so fun to see my little baby boy treated like a real kid at the doctor's office!!

Here are his stats:
Height: 40.5 inches tall
Weight: 41.5 pounds

He's still off the charts for both- and she said he's doing just great!

She was happy to see that he's potty trained. He can continue wearing Pull-Ups at night until he consistently stays dry. His little bladder won't be mature enough to hold it all night long for a while. He also sleeps too deeply to wake up and go at night.

We talked about enrolling him in preschool in the fall. I have a couple of schools I'm interested in. I'll be calling them tomorrow since the enrollment season is upon us!

Things to work on:
learning how to pedal a bike
learning how to put on shirts and pants all by himself
working on singing the ABC'S. How is it that he knows the words to every other song in the world- except that one!!!??? (This is my goal for him, Dr. Ubell said not to worry about it!)

Dr. Ubell said not to worry about how often he breaks out in hives. If we can't figure out what's causing them he might just be one of those kids who has them every so often. She mentioned having him take Zyrtec if it continues. We'll wait and see if we need to take that step. He hasn't had any in a few days.

Jack still confuses letter sounds when he speaks- he says the s sound instead of f sometimes. Again, not to worry. He also goes through stages where he stutters. She said that's totally normal for kids his age.

I love his doctor, She's so down to earth and easy to talk to.

Emma came with us too. She had to have her second flu shot. She screamed like crazy for about a minute and then got over it. She went to bed without being swaddled for the first time tonight! Wish us luck tonight!!!
