2 Year Doctor Visit

This afternoon we took Olivia for her 2 year well appointment.  I spent some times yesterday filling out all of the checklists they do for the appointment.  We were mostly able to check yes to most of the items.  A few were not yet or sometimes.  Olivia did great standing on the scale but she did not want to be measured so they had to measure her on the table.  She weighed in at 24 pounds and 34 inches.  She gained 2 pounds and 2 inches since her 18 month appointment.  Then the nurse did a finger prick to get some blood to test iron levels and cholesterol (yes cholesterol at 2 years old).  She was fine at first but then she saw the blood and the nurse squeezed it and then she started crying! But we got her settled down and waited for the nurse practioner.  Her iron level was 13 and cholesterol was 138 which the nurse practioner said was great.  She did the usual things of checking ears, heartbeat etc.  Then she had her do a task- string beads on a string.  At first she didn't want to do it or even talk.  But after she was left alone she picked it up and did it.  Overall we passed with flying colors  and don't need to come back until she is 3.  If we want a 2 1/2 year check up we can but that is up to us.
