Masterpiece- Dr. Update

Today was Samantha's 3 year well check visit and she did pretty well, with the exception of not wanting to cooperate for the vision test and was wiggly for the hearing screen. I laugh at the questions "Can she say 3-word sentences?", "Can she name at least one kid in her class?" and "Is 75% of her words understood by others?"- Is that a joke?! The girl will talk your ear off and knows everyone in her class and most of their mamas.
We talked with the doctor about privacy, strangers, nap time/ bed time, and eating habits. As far as bed time: In my opinion, Sam goes to sleep fairly late for a 3 year old: 10pm, but with a 2-2 1/2 hr nap during the day. The pedi says it's normal if a parent gets home late, and I explained that we wait to eat dinner together as a family. She believes that family time is more important than an early bedtime, especially for a kid who still naps as long. Pass.
Strangers: Since Sammie is so friendly we need to stress to her the importance of strangers! She is starting to understand that people we don't know are strangers, but now we need to go into specifics and who she can trust if she gets lost. She will soon learn (which she already knows most), Mama's name, Daddy's name, city/state, then street, etc...
Eating: Sam is the laziest eater! It's not that she's pick because she will eat anything you spoon feed her. She just doesn't want to fork it to her mouth. Pedi isn't too worried as long as she's getting her nutrients. We can work on not being so lazy later.
Bragging Rights: Sam knows her days of the week- in order- (although if it's Wednesday, she's not aware that tomorrow is Thursday or that yesterday was Tuesday), counting to about 15, 10 in Spanish; It only took about a week and she learned her colors in Spanish (Go Mama!)- They are not teaching Spanish at school this year :/
Height: 35.5 inches
Weight 30.6 pounds

Getting blood pressure taken for the first time- Tight Bear Hug!

 After her flu shot came a special with Grandma Ria... frozen yogurt!

Another question that was asked was if she could draw a circle if I drew one. Honestly, I never tried, so while the nurse was out charting and we were waiting on the doctor, I picked up the Magna-Doodle and gave it a try. Sure 'nough, she can do it. Then it got me thinking of the little girl in Sams' class that draws perfect people figures. So while we waiting for Daddy, I drew my own circle/stick person on my paper and Sam drew hers... (and signed it herself at the bottom)
