Ana had her three-year doctors appointment this morning. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 37.75″ (65th percentile)
Weight: 30.4 lbs (50th percentile)
BMI: 150 (30th percentile)
Blood Pressure: 84/48

The stats I provided are a little different than I am use to. BMI? Blood pressure? It’s crazy that we have to start worrying about that stuff at three years old. They also collected a urine sample. I was a little shocked as well, but very thankful that Ana nailed potty training in the last week. However I was expecting them to have one of those little “collector” things that you put into the toilet to catch the urine, but nope, I got to be the collector. I had Ana sit on the toilet while I held the cup and begged her to pee. Finally she dripped out enough (how, I have no idea! I don’t think I could have peed under that kind of pressure!) that I was able to hand it to the nurse and she deemed it acceptable. Yippee!

The rest of the appointment was pretty uneventful after that. The doctor had her jump up and down, then jump on just one foot and then the other. He talked to her about reading books and brushing her teeth. They talked about colors and whether she knows her letters (she is only concerned with A,N–the letters needed to spell her name–and “O, for Owen”) and her numbers (she can identify 1-4). Pretty basic stuff. All in all, I would say it was a successful appointment. And we could definitely use more of those around here.
