This afternoon we went to see Dr. Rufa for Riley's 3-year well visit. What we found out is Riley is doing quite well (but we already knew that). Dr. Rufa read off some markers of what a 3-yearold should be doing:
1 - Can she identify at least one color? Ummm, quadruple check - Riley can tell you the colors of the rainbow and then some!
2 - Can she ride a tricycle? That would be a check
3 - Is she potty trained? Since she was 2 1/2 - CHECK!
4 - Can she throw a ball overhand? Yep!
5 - Does she know the parts of her body? Definitely!!
6 - Can she jump with both feet? That would be a yes - just ask her daddy who is constantly telling her to stop jumping!!
Looks like our little pre-schooler is learning and growing just fine!
Stats for Miss Riley Paige are simple:
Riley did so good at the appointment and followed all of Dr. Rufa's directions. She even requested to have her blood pressure checked!! Dr. Rufa let her play with the cuff when she was done checking. I told Riley a few days ago that she wouldn't need to get any shots at this visit. However, I realized this morning that they may offer the flu shot which I would obviously want Riley to get. I gently broke the news to her on the way to the doctors and she agreed to have it done.
When it was actually time to get it done she sat on my lap, squeezed her bear Baron and cried for literally 5.2 seconds!! Such a brave girl. This was the easiest appointment yet!
And as much as we adore Dr. Rufa we hope to not see her again until next year.
And just a quick pic of the brave pre-schooler!
