3 year well visit!

I braved a well visit by myself folks!  I did it!  And we rocked!  The kids did so, so awesome!  Dr. Fran said probably 25 times that they did so well its hard to believe they are the same kids that were so terrified of doctors as babes.  They sat still while he listened & looked.  Stood up big & tall to get weighed & measured.  All but Hayden said "ah" so he could look in mouths.  Our only tears were Hayden not appreciating him looking at his "diaper" rash that won't go away & getting the flu mist vaccine "shoved" up his nose.  Beyond that they chatted with Dr. Fran.  Called him by name.  They did some vision screening exams that they wore glasses for & Logan did awesome pointing out shapes & letters to the nurses.  Hayden & Olivia 1/2 cooperated, but were more shy.  I was so impressed.  The appointment was long.... and got drug out longer because the kids wanted potty breaks mid-way through, so Dr. Fran went to see another patient in between (we're along potty stop group!)  So thank goodness I had packed some crackers & fruit snacks to keep them occupied!

No real issues to report.
Liv had some fluid behind one ear.... but we are recovering from some respiratory crud.
We are doing some extra vitamin D with them this winter, as I heard some research about vitamin Ds role in allergies & asthma.  Dr. Fran thought it was a great idea.
We have noticed Hayden sometimes tends to walk on his toes, something we need to pay attention to given his sacral dimple. 
Logan's umbilical hernia is still slightly open, but small. 
He mentioned the size of Logan & Livi's tonsils.  (still wish we coulda just yanked them all the same day)
Outside of the boys not pedaling trikes & not knowing how old they are, (ask them & they tell you their name not their age) I think we were doing all of the milestones they asked about today.

And because they behaved so well, we treated outselves to some french fries for lunch afterwards!

Our 3 year stats are:

Hayden
36 lbs 9.6 oz (90%)
38 in (58%)

Olivia
31 lbs (55%)
37.5 in (56.5%)

Logan
29 lbs 6.4 oz (26%)
36.25 in (17%)

And just because he looked it up, on their corrected age growth chart for prematurity they were like 95%, 75% & 50% respectively for weight.  Hard sometimes to remember how small they really started...
