The Moen Moments: 3 Year Check-Up

Though E turned 3 almost 6 weeks ago, we just got into his doc for his annual check-up today. He did SO well (of course!). He's perfect in every way (but we already knew that!). Just E and I went to his appointment this morning, we sat in the waiting room, even peed in a cup for his urine sample (he thought this was too funny!), they measured his height and weight, checked his vision using a vision chart (he loved seeing the letters and the nurses were really impressed by how "smart he is"), took his blood pressure, his temperature, and even pricked his finger to take a blood sample....all before the doctor even came in to see him! The doc was very thorough, checking him from head to toe, while E followed his direction and was such a trooper. Doc said he looked great! The nurses returned to give him an annual flu shot (now we've all had one!), which he didn't like at all (it's still sooo hard for me to see my babies hurt like that, my heart aches!). The doc suggested we see a local allergist, but we're not in any rush to do so. He also said that his "toe walking" was normal and will eventually fade. He's gained 5 lbs and grown 3 1/4 inches over the past 12 months (compare to this post). He's seems so much older than just three years. Sometimes I forget that he's still so young. He's just to mature and advanced compared to his peers. I can't begin to tell you how truly amazing we think this little boy is and how lucky we are to be his parents! We love you, Bubbie!!

Perfect little boy toes (yes, that's a bruise on his big toe!).
