She's a trooper...

Sydney had 2 doctor's appointments today - her 3-year check up with the pediatrician and a check-up at the eye doctor.

We went to the pediatrician first and got an excellent report. She now weighs 32 pounds (64th percentile) and is 36 inches tall (24th percentile). It's amazing how fast they grow! The doctor also said (not to brag!) that Sydney is very mature for her age and has advanced cognitive and fine motor skills. I, of course, liked hearing that, but Sydney could've cared less. She was too worried about whether or not she had to get a shot - which she didn't - THANK GOODNESS!

Next it was on to the opthamologist. I expected it was going to go well because I can see improvement just from her last check-up 8 weeks ago - and it did! With her glasses on her vision is now 20/30 in both eyes and the misalignment is almost totally gone. She now only has to wear the patch for 1 hour a day for the next 6 weeks. Then she will go 4 weeks without it and we'll have a check-up at 10 weeks. Hopefully, she won't have to wear it anymore after that. YAY!

After the appointments I took Sydney out for lunch since she had been so cooperative and patient through both of her appointments. She's a trooper and such a blessing....
