Monkey had her check up today. She is a big girl. Her BMI is lower than last year, so that is a good news. We did ask the doctor if she was considered overweight and the doctor assured us that she looked normal and healthy. However we should keep her away from TV.
It was a very interesting experience. The check up lasted an hour. After the physical, the doctor asked her what her favorite food was. We are happy to report that she didn't say cake or candy. (It was chicken, rice, strawberries, and yogurt.)
The doctor wanted her to recite ABCs and Monkey happily sang the ABC Song to her, humming over a few alphabets at some points.
And then the doctor wanted her to count. She happily obliged, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6."
"What is after that?"
"um..."
"Can you say it?"
She nodded her head.
We prompted her, "Count more. You can do it."
Monkey then gave us the hand, "Tomorrow."
We had to laugh. I hope she is not considered delayed.
The doctor then asked her to draw a circle and a cross. She did that. She was then asked to balance on one foot and hop on one foot. She could do that easily.
Afterward, the nurse tried to give her hearing and vision tests, but Monkey couldn't understand the instructions, so we will be doing that next year.
Thereafter, Monkey celebrated her birthday with her friends at the daycare. She was mad that her friends were eating her cupcake; she doesn't like to share.
