Erin's 3 Year Check Up/Screening

Erin had her three year check up in July.  She weighed 35.9 lbs & was 38 1/4 inches tall.  She's in the 50-75 percentile for height & 75th percentile for weight.  I still can't believe that my little preemie is in the 75th%.  WooHoo Erin!!

She is doing well developmentally and can do all things a normal three year old can do and then some.  She passed her vision & hearing test with flying colors.  

Her pediatrician was really impressed with Erin and said to keep doing what we're doing.

The day for her preschool screening finally arrived on October 24th.  She was so ecstatic to go.  It was a huge deal to her and she talked about it at least 10 times a day.  She passed on all levels and completed all non verbal parts with the screener.  She needed me by her side for all verbal questions.  Once I was in the room, she warmed up a lot.  

Some of the development areas assessed:

• Cognitive - Basic concepts...counting, colors and completing sentences.
• Fine Motor - Small muscle & eye-hand coordination.  Block building, copying shapes, and drawing.
• Gross Motor - Large muscle activities (hopping/balancing).
• Speech/Language - Say sounds correctly and ability to use words and sentence patterns.

Overall, she scored 24 out of 25 points.  

She's all set for Preschool in the fall.  She's very excited about going to Four Star Express and her teachers are excited to have her.  They can't wait and have already been telling me about the registration date.
