The girls had their 3-year doctor's appointment yesterday.
What a difference a year makes. Last year they screamed and cried from the second they got in the exam room until they left. This year they laughed and danced and said how much fun they were having. We actually had to drag them out of the doctor's office crying because they didn't want to leave!! No shots were involved which added to the pleasant experience but they did each have finger pricks to test hemoglobin and blood sugar levels so it wasn't all painless. (The results were normal for both.) They had their ears tested -- both passed. And they both were tested for lazy eye. They both passed that test as well.
Now the stats:
A
36 1/2"
30 lbs
50th percentile

L
38"
33 lbs
75th percentile
They are both doing just fine and progressing on their own growth curves. A was 50th percentile and L was 75th percentile last year as well. It's very interesting how you can have identical twins and there still be such a noticable difference in height and weight. A few people have even asked me if L is older because of the size difference.
Oh, and they woke up this morning and both again said how much fun they had at the doctor's. :) Wait until next year when they DO have to get some shots...
