Report from the Doctor’s office

We took Reid in for her two-year check up on Friday. We didn’t go in July because our doctor was on vacation and we didn’t go in August or September because I’d forgotten to renew Reid’s health card. Finally, it arrived and I scheduled the appointment. Only I was a couple of minutes late meeting Ken and Reid at the office and they took her in without seeing the card. Had I but known …

Ken said that Reid was happy in the waiting room but started to yell and cry when they got to the triage room. It was the same when I took her when she had her viral rash and flu. My psychoanalysis of this behaviour is that she still remembers her 18 month shots. But I should disclose that my training in psychoanalysis was limited to one or maybe two hours in first year psych :+) Whatever the reason, she was still upset and desperate to escape the examination room that they parked us in. A nurse came in to see if we could get Reid’s weighed since she’d been too wild at first. I held her and stood on the scale and then set her down and was weighed again. (I hate getting weighed, even in metric.) I pinned her to the bed and the nurse measured her length. When we got back to Ken, he said that the first nurse said “no” when he suggested that he hold Reid to be weighed but that they did get a length measurement. Poor kid pinned to the bed by mama for nothing :+(

Finally, it was our turn to see the doctor. Reid nursed throughout the exam, with only a brief pause when he looked in her eyes. Most of the exam was a series of questions for us. Does she learn at least one new word a week? I’ll say. More like one dozen a day, it seems. Does she eat most foods? Yep. Is she affectionate? You bet. And so on. The doctor said that Reid is in the 95th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for weight (which explains why her pants won’t stay up unless they high-waters, I guess).

Since Friday, Reid has been eating as though she is trying to bring her weight up to the level of her height. She ate so much curry on Saturday night that we thought she’d get a tummy ache. Chicken curry is one of her favourite meals but, wow! This morning, she insisted on trading me bowls of oatmeal (made from the rolled oats like mom does it) and when she finished what I’d served myself, asked for more. I’m glad I ate from her bowl quickly enough to finish. They’ll offer her breakfast at daycare and I bet she’ll eat again.
