Another entry I should have posted a while ago. Our Bean had her annual checkup on May 2nd. It was a bit tricky this time around, as it’d been raining for a while and the teachers at Kita had kept the kids cooped up all day. Our Bean really, really needs her daily time outside, otherwise she just doesn’t know what to do with all that energy. Well, I took her to the appointment in the afternoon and she just could not sit or stand still for any significant amount of time. It was really, really difficult to get her to focus. But! The doctor was happy with her regardless. She was weighed and measured first – 94 cm tall, 15.1 kg with clothes -, then passed her eyesight test with flying colours and went on to talk to the doctor. He had a bit of trouble assessing her language skills this time around, as she speaks a good mix of German and English and he doesn’t really know much English. I translated, though, and it appears that he was satisfied.  Out of interest, he wanted to see if she could differentiate between colours already, but the only colour she pointed out reliably was red (her favourite colour at the moment). He also wanted to know from her why firetrucks get called and what firemen do, but our girl didn’t really know what to make of these questions, so she just told him over and over again that you see firetrucks outside on the roads and that they go ‘nee naw’. Apparently though, those were questions that she did not need to be able to answer yet, so all’s good. Our Bean is an active, happy, balanced little girl.
