3 year well visit

Kaylee's 3 year pediatrician appointment was Monday afternoon. Andy's 2 month appointment was the same time - luckily Jamie was able to come, so it wasn't as crazy as it could have been. But a drug rep was chatting with us as they weighed both kids and got Kaylee's height, so I don't know what her weight was (and they didn't give us any printouts with it listed this time) - it's been around 37lbs when we weigh her on our home scale. And she's 39" tall.

Jamie went with her to do her vision test and apparently she aced it - in part because she actually did it (covering one eye at a time and telling what shapes they see from a chart on the wall; seems most 3 year olds aren't too cooperative), and because she did get them right (though their butterfly shape apparently looks like a pretzel, because that's what she said for that one - Jamie said he and the tester both looked at it and agreed with her). They tested her ears and her right one passed, but left one did not - again, though I don't think they've tested since she was 11 months old. I'm not quite sure what that means; the pediatrician said her ears look fine (when she looked in with the otoscope), but based on the we might need to see an audiologist again. I need to call back and ask if we're supposed to take her to an audiologist for the more in-depth testing again or wait another year and see what the hearing test says at her 4 year checkup. She seems to be hearing and developing fine, and at the last audiologist appointment she had (at 11 months old), they told us she was hearing as well as a hearing aid would correct to, so they didn't recommend that we get one for her.
