Both boys had their checkups and the requisite immunizations this morning. Dom was pumped up about the elevator and seeing the fish and playing in the castle in the waiting room. Oh yeah, there were stickers, too. So what if he had to endure four shots? Noel had less to look forward to, though he did find a few things to occupy him in the exam room. He was furious at having his head measured and ears examined (how dare they!) and shots given (of course).
Dom and Noel are growing in their established patterns, one at each end of the charts. Here are the current measurements:
Dominick
43 pounds (95th percentile)
41 1/2 inches (75th)
Noel
21 pounds, 11 ounces (10th percentile)
30 1/2 inches (25th)
This visit included Dom's first blood pressure check, which he allowed only after the nurse demonstrated putting the cuff on my arm. She also tried to do hearing and vision tests, but he didn't cooperate with those. Colette said that's normal for a four-year-old. Maybe next year!
