The doctor discussed the issue of when to send Harper to Kindergarten, as she is right at the cut off. He thinks she'll be ready in 2 years, instead of 3. This means that she will be FOUR during the first few weeks of school. And my main concern, she won't turn 16 until the beginning of her junior year. The doctor said because she is a girl, and is already a smarty-pants, she will more than likely be bored with a 3rd year of preschool, and will be ready for kindergarten. I guess time will tell.
The other issue under discussion at her visit was the size of Harper's adenoids. Over the past few months I've noticed that her adenoids appear rather large. Dr. Nagel agreed. Because Harper doesn't have recurrent sore throats, he doesn't think this is an urgent issue. However he did refer us to a Ear, Nose, & Throat doctor for a 2nd opinion, only because Harper does snore, which could lead to sleep apnea. She will more than likely need her adenoids removed at some point, the sooner the better in my opinion.
Other than that, Harper is a thriving and healthy girl! We feel very blessed and fortunate for her good health, it is not something we take forgranted!
