Brooke's 5 year old check up

Brooke had her 5 year old check up this morning. Over all, it went extremely well. We asked Dr. Yson about some behavioral concerns we had about Brooke - dropping words in sentences, not conjugating words correctly, her need for constant attention and manipulating people into getting it, comprehension vs. memorization, not understanding the concept of "why", etc. Fortunately, it seems all of our concerns are within normal range for her age. There are a few things we'll watch for in the next year or two, but over all - she is doing great. She is in the 25% for weight at 37lbs and 50% for height at 42.25".

Developmentally she passes just about all the 5 year old check list:
plays cooperatively
can draw a circle and cross
hops on one foot
brushes teeth without help
walks on tip toes
enjoys make-believe/dress (and boy does she!)
enjoys friends
cuts and pastes
plays simple board games
identifies 4-5 colors correctly (and even in Spanish)
can tell a story/knows some nursery rhymes
recognizes most letters of the alphabet (actually, all of them)
copy a triangle
dresses/undresses self without supervision
shows independence 
can count 10 or more objects (last I heard, it was over 20)
prints some letters (actually, all letters)
recalls part of a story
writes first name

The tasks she hasn't mastered yet are:
understands fair/unfair (unsure if she really comprehends this)
draws a person with head, body, arms, legs and face (she does all but the body)
ties shoes (haven't taught her this yet)
knows right from left (most of the time she knows this but not all the time)

The other big news from the appointment is that she still has her umbilical hernia. Most people think she has a really big outtie belly button. But from the day we got her home, we knew she had an umbilical hernia. At the time, we were told it may close on its own by the time she was 3 or 4 years old. At 3 years old, we were told to wait another year. At 4 years old, we believed the hole in her heart was closing so we didn't want to do any surgery with a possible heart complication. Now, at 5 years old and with the hole in the heart closed.... we are now ready to do the surgery to fix the umbilical hernia. We'll start the consult next month and determine next steps then.
