Five Year Checkup
Jack had his 5 year check up today..poor guy-5 shots :( It was so sad, because he did cry, but not like a yelling upset cry. He just wimpered & had tears running down his face...OHHH, it broke my heart. It took me back to his 2 month old shots when I cried!!! He really was a brave boy :)
Here are Jack's stats: He weighs 49 lbs, which is the top 10th percentile. I was surprised his percentile was so high--he seems so skinny to me! He is 47 1/2 inches tall, which is the top 3rd percentile for his age...The doctor said we'd never have to worry about people not thinking he is five! He is a tall, skinny boy!
One thing did pop up in the appt...Jack did not pass his vision screening. His vision overall was 20/50. The doctor said that usually kids eyes don't have trouble until 1st or 2nd grade, so it was "concerning" to him. So, we'll go see the eye doctor next Monday & see what comes of this! I'm not sure if this is bad genes working against him, or the fact that he was born 5 weeks early...Either way, we can handle it!
On a cute note, today I asked Jack how it feels to be five. He said, "Well, whenever I tell someone I'm five, or someone says five to me, I just feel grown up." :)
Oh, I weighed Colby while we were there: 37 lbs!
