Kire's 3 year Checkup

Kire went to the dr. yesterday for his 3 year check up.  I haven't been thrilled with the pediatrition I've been seeing so we tried out another one and she was really nice.  They started the appt. by taking his blood-pressure, which was exciting because he sees me do it at my doctor and he thought it was fun.  Then they weighed him, 32 lbs, and took his height, a little over 3 ft. So he's average, a little on the short side which didn't make Erik happy.  Then they checked his eyes.  He had to stand back and look at a board like I do at my exams, only instead of letters there were shapes he had to name.  I was very proud of him when the nurse pointed to a plus sign and he said "t" and he said "o" when she pointed to a circle.  We've been working on his letters so I was glad he remembered.  Erik and I both have poor vision, so I'm glad he's doing ok so far.  And everything else looked good too.

I think Jonah weighs almost 30 lbs. at two years and is a total shorty. He's like a brick or Kire is a beanpole.
