My Daughter’s 3 Year Check Up
My daughter did really well at her appointment last Monday. I thought she would be more upset about certain things but she was very cooperative. Although a little baby was crying in the next room and that kind of scared her.
This was the first time where they actually took her blood pressure and she didn’t like that at all because she said it hurt her arm.. but afterwards the nurse went and got her a sticker. Then when the doctor came in to see her he said she was all up to date on shots so she didn’t get any this time but she did get a lab sheet and need to give blood to check it for iron, it’s something they do every year. When we went to the lab to get the blood drawn she screamed when they started taking the blood but right afterwards she calmed down and said she felt better. She got like 3 stickers for that one! She also had to pee in a cup which was funny, I’m not sure if they expected her to be able to do it or not but she did it.
While at her doctors the nurse also did a quick eye check thing to try and pick up any signs to see if she needed a referral to an eye doctor. They ended up giving us one because she wouldn’t say what the shapes were when she was far back and the nurse just thought she didn’t know the shapes but when she moved closer she told the nurse what they were. The doctor also said we could start taking her to the Dentist.
So her next check up will be when she is 4 and she’ll get some shots and things then..
