We visited TLC Peds today for the girls' 4 year check up. I made Cory come with because I knew they were going to get shots and I wasn't about to go to that rodeo alone with 3 kids. We saw Dr. M and she checked out each of the girls and asked us questions about how they are doing developmentally. Things like riding a bike, do they know shapes & colors, potty trained through the night, etc. They passed those tests with flying colors. They also did a vision test and the girls each have 20/30 vision, which the nurse said was good. Ryan is 35.6 lbs. & 40 1/2 inches, BMI is 15.3. Reese is 35.8 lbs. (first time Ree has been heavier than Ry) & 40 1/2 inches, BMI is also 15.3. They are about 50 percentile for BMI and weight and 75 percentile for height. They are perfect in every way and it's always fun to see the doc for a well visit and hear how great they are doing.
The not-so-fun part was the shots at this visit. They had to get five shots and we opted to do all five instead of breaking them up. We talked about it with Dr. M and didn't want to drag out what can be a traumatizing experience, especially now that they have a distinct memory of certain events. They were so brave and strong. Cory took Ryan in another room for her shots while I stayed with Reese. I'm so glad that part is over and we don't have to get any more shots until they are 11.
