6 Year Old Checkup

We took the whole family to the doctor this month so both kids could get Flu Mist and Ben could have his annual checkup.  He quickly reminded us that the shot schedule did not call for any shots until he is 11.  After we got that important business squared away we were excited to see how Ben was growing.  He measured 47.3” tall (79%) and weighed 49.6 lbs (69%).  He was very distressed that he didn’t measure 48 inches tall and that we had “cheated” Silver Dollar City somehow.  He was glad to hear that they let you count shoes there and that was how he was tall enough.  Everything checked out well and Ben is a healthy growing boy!  

Elizabeth had to go first for Flu Mist which she was not happy about, but she did really well.  She chose to lay on Mom and lean back so the medicine wouldn’t run out.  She was so brave and did an awesome job!  Ben went later in the appointment and decided he should lay down too even though he could probably sniff it just fine.  He was not happy about how it felt but took it just fine.  Now we can look forward to seeing how E measures up come January!
