5-Year Old Well-Child Check-Up

Dear Logan,

It's that time of the year again, the annual check-up. I really can't believe Aidan is 5 already.  He behaved like a big boy at the doctor's office and I was so proud of him.

He weighs 43.2 lbs (50%) and is 44 1/8 in tall (75%).  He got his blood pressure checked, and had his first hearing test done since he was discharged from the hospital when he was a newborn.  He followed instructions well, and was able to verbalize and show us what he needed to do.  He also had an eye test, which was a simpler version of the one at the Optometrist Office.  All numbers and tests were good.

He waited patiently in the room, and entertained himself with a book.  When the doctor came in, we answered the usual questions, and she did her usual check-up.  Everything was fine, except the doctor noticed some redness in his throat and his nose.  I guess that meant he might be coming down with a cold soon.  And TA-DA!  He started coughing the next day.  Maybe I jinxed myself by telling the doctor that Aidan has been pretty healthy during this flu season.  Oh well....

We will probably come back in 6 months for a TB test for Kindergarten.  Aside from that, let's hope we won't see the pediatrician until next January.


Love you,
Mommy
