Today was full of appointments.
Full of good news.
Joe had his 3 year well check.
He was 30.5 lbs and 36.5 in.
He is on the charts and doctor is pleased.
We discussed his speech.
At this point it is our decision if we need seek help.
I have had him evaluated my his ever talented aunt,
and her opinion is the same.
We have 3 full years before kindergarten.
His receptive language is good, so let it ride seems to be the popular opinion.
He made us chuckle, after identifying a few colors, Dr. R drew a star which he identified as a 'tar and then drew a moon - to which Joe said 'nana. Yep, banana it is Joe!
'Then it was time for Sam's recheck on his eyes.
He failed his vision screen last year at preschool and we had him checked then.
He has astigmatism, cannot be corrected, but vision can be better with glasses.
Once again, it is our decision whether to correct right now. Dr. W seems to think that by 1st grade he may needed glasses for school. He did write us a prescription today, but suggested seeing how preschool goes. He is wise to state that at this age glasses may be difficult. It is a weak prescription. I did take the time to introduce Sam to the frames and get him thinking on the idea in case we need to reconsider once preschool starts. Dr. W says he will fail his vision screen again, so we would be prepared for this.
I must say he looked mighty handsome in those tiny frames!
We painted birdhouses this afternoon! I will post some sweet pics!
