Three Year Old Check-Ups

On the 12th of November, I took Ben and Emmy to their three year old check-up. They were doing fine until they went into the examination room and put on paper gowns. As you can tell by the pictures below, they were not pleased to be there. I took these pictures right after I changed them into the paper gowns and before the doctor came in. Emmy did great (for her) when the doctor was examining her and Ben whimpered when it was his turn. I think Ben remembers the awful experience he had at this doctors office last year getting his stitches removed. It was not a pleasant experience and since then he has not been comfortable going to the doctor.

When they received the H1N1 vaccine, they screamed and were not happy at all to be receiving a shot. After they calmed down I helped them change back into their clothes. Ben and Emmy soon became happy again when they received a sticker and a coupon for McDonald's on their way out the door.

They both were exactly 50th percentile for their weight and height.
Emily 30 lbs
37 inches

Ben 31.8 lbs
38 inches

I am still a little worried about Emmy's speech. I have decided to give her six more months to see what happens. If she her speech has not improved, then we will see a speech therapist.

Overall, the doctor said everything looked good in their exams.
