Doing well at 3

Yesterday Ben & Maddie had their 3-year well visit with their doctor. Both passed with flying colors.

They "tried" to do vision and hearing tests, but it was a bit of a challenge. Maddie did OK but Ben just giggled most of the time.

Both are growing very well. Ben is still in about the 25th percentile compared to boys his age. Maddie is at about 36th percentile. I'm happy with that!

I asked the doctor if she thought their language skills were OK and she said that generally kids that age can only be understood about 50 percent of the time. But she thinks Ben & Maddie have very good speaking skills and their understandability is closer to 99%! Nice.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Ben & Maddie turned 3 years old yesterday. What an exciting milestone! We had a small party -- essentially a playdate -- with friends who have kids about the same age. We went to an indoor playground called the Eagele's Nest, where they let you rent a room for your food/cake, etc., and the kids can play all they want.
