5 Year Old Check Up

John Lawrence went to the doctor yesterday for his 5 year old check-up. He did great! He had to get 4 shots, pee in a cup, get his finger pricked and do the normal weight, height, blood pressure checks.

The shots hurt by the 3rd one, but he was a trooper.

I am pulling his 4 year stats so we can compare to last year.

4 Year old

Weight: 45 lbs 94%

Height: 44 in 97%

5 Year old

Weight: 49.5 lbs 89%

Height: 47.75 in 99%

92/56 blood pressure

He is healthy and doing great! At 5 years old they are wanting parents to let the kids do a lot of the talking and listening about safety tips and so on. This was great because John Lawrence got to list lots of new foods he was trying and got to tell her he can ride his bike with no training wheels!!! He is so proud of himself (this happened about a week ago).

He did try and convince her that he does not ride in a car seat anymore and I finally had to step in and tell her that was not true, that actually he is still in a car seat and not in a booster seat yet (she was so relieved to hear that). Of course he was smiling this evil smile while he said it.
