Today Diego had his 3-yr check up at the doctor and it was super! I had been dreading telling him that we were going to the doctor so I waited until this morning. Whenever I tell him it's time for me to shower, he asks "Porque te vas a banar mami? Adonde vamos?" (Why are you going to shower? Where are we going) I said "out," but he insisted on knowing where so I told him. He was so cool about it. I explained to him that all three year olds have to go to the doctor to get checked and make sure they're healthy and he was fine with that.
They put the band around his arm to take his blood pressure the "grown up way" for the first time and he thought that was so neat. He sat as still as can be the whole time and loved watching the numbers count. He stood on the big scale and was measured standing up! He weighed 35 pounds (75the percentile) and measures 3 feet, 1.5 inches (50th percentile). The doctor had him take his clothes off to listen to his heart and chest, look in his ears, mouth and nose and then had him do a few exercises (jumping up and down and balancing on one leg). She was very impressed with his strength and agility.
Since he did so awesome I told him we could go to chik-fil-a for lunch and even have ice cream afterwards - he was thrilled!
We praise God for the tremendous blessing of this perfectly healthy boy, and a big boy he is!
