Noah's 3 year Well Child Check!

 Yesterday Noah had his well child check yesterday, and as always he had a perfect report!  It was a very L O N G appointment, 2 hours!  Yes, that is the only down fall with going to Hershey and having Med Students!  They come in alone and do their exam, then report to the Dr and then she comes in and does a exam and basically does the same thing all over again!  I really REALLY like his Dr though, so I don't mind!  She is so nice, and she's kinda old school yet in reality as well so it's nice. 

• Noah weighed in at a whooping 42.8 pounds

• Measured in at 39.8 inches tall, which I think may have been off cause this boy is TALL!

The only concerns I had this round was his behavior lately, I swear 3's are WAY worse than 2's were!  Yes, already!  So I got a few tips on how to handle him, and hopefully that works!  Also he used to sit at the dinner table and eat his dinner, now he'll take a few bites then get up and once dinner is over say "I'm hungry" well the Dr told me that when he does that, to not give him ANYTHING at all the rest of the night, not even healthy snacks!  If he decides he wants to sit and eat his dinner, than he can but otherwise too bad!  Seems kind of harsh to me, but I guess it will work!  So I will be trying it!

Funny and convenient that I got a flyer for this Raising a Thinking Child class when Noah's birthday book came from Lower Dauphin communities that care.  Well reading the flyer it was ALL Noah, so I called and signed myself up.  Funny is it that yesterday evening was the first class and ALL of the people taking the class have boys in the target age group of the class!  I think 2 have girls that are around the same age to, but I find that hilarious!  I guess boys are different! 

Playing with the wheel maze thing!  Feeling a breeze Noah?!

Playing his Jake game while we waited in between Dr's!  He was being such a good boy!

I was so proud of Noah, the med student asked him to draw a circle, which he did twice!  Funny cause at home when I try to get him to do that stuff he won't seem to do it!  Then he had a eye exam with shapes and did great with both eyes!  Then his Dr had him dress himself, which I knew he could do but he did such a good job for her!  Over all he had a great appt and doesn't have to return until next year, or of course if he gets sick! 

Next Tuesday he goes to the Cardiologist for his one year follow up.  They sent him there last year because his cholesterol was high, and with the family history on my side and his Dad she wanted him seen there.  It was a great appt with no issues at all!  Then they called and said it was time for his follow up, and I was like well that isn't really needed....but I thought more about it and was like see this is what I dislike about being a Mom, if I wouldn't take him and something would be wrong that could have been caught I'd beat myself up!   So needless to say, he's going next Tuesday morning for that follow up!  Probably will be a waste of a $50 copay but for my peace of mind, and my boys health it will be worth it!!

No matter how frustrating he can be, there is always more than one moment a day that he melts my heart!  I cannot imagine my like without him, honestly I know every Mother says that but I seriously don't know what I'd do without him!  Could it be because we spend every day together?  Sure, but you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way honestly!  I enjoy it, I enjoy my alone time but hey when it doesn't happen often you appreciate it more!

Until next time!
