Ryan went for his three year appointment yesterday. He did well. He has grown two inches in the last 6 months and has gained three pounds. The doctor said he could be a football player and will most likely be 5'9 or 5'10 when he is fully grown. Which is fine with me. He is bowlegged but that will improve over time. When the doctor left Ryan thought he could leave too. He was angry because he needed a lead test still. But he got a sticker and a blue lollipop which made him happy when we did leave.
At 36 months he is 37 1/4 inches and 33.2 lbs.
