Three-Year-Old Stats

We went to the doctor today for Miss Lainey's three-year-old checkup. She is doing great, and all was good until the giant shot. My gosh. That girl was screaming! And to make matters worse, while I was holding a squirming Lainey, Walker was wandering around the patient room, crying and sad because I couldn't very well hold both of them. Anyway, before the shot came out, here's what we learned:

• Lainey is 37-1/2 inches tall. This puts her in the 50th-75th percentile.
• She weighs 32.6 pounds, which also puts her in the 50th-75th percentile.
• She is built proportionately.
• She is right-handed. (We knew this, but it's officially in her chart now.)
• She doesn't like the paper gown that the nurses asked her to wear for her exam. So she didn't wear it.
• She has four moles. All look fine.
• Her iron level is really good. So she's eating well. :)
• Her blood pressure is 98/50. This was the first time we'd ever taken her blood pressure, so it was a fun, new experience for her.

Whew! I'm glad that is over. The shot was not fun. As a reward, Nurse Renee gave her a princess wand and a big diamond ring from the treat drawer and then Lainey, Walker, and I went to play at a new park that had a lot of ducks. Aggressive ones, I might add. I think they thought we had food! :)
