Carson had his 4 yr check up today. The doctor confirmed what we already knew. Carson is tall and skinny. He weighs 34.2 pounds (in blue jeans) and he is 42 inches tall. This gives him a BMI of about 13.5. I guess at 4 they start checking that. I just did a little research and found he is below the 5th percentile for BMI and underweight for his height. I guess this makes since since he is in the 95th percentile for height and 25 for weight. Other than being skinny all looked good. He passed his hearing and vision test. He was scared to death when they were trying to take his blood presure! He knew he was going to get shots and was not happy about it.
I also talked to the doctor about Carson's speech and fine motor skills. She thinks he might be a little behind in holding a pencil and such but does not think we need to do anything at this point. If I want to have him evaluated she will give me a referal or what ever you need to go through the school sysytem. I figure I will wait and talk to his teacher and see what her thoughts are about him. She has been teaching 3 yr olds for a long time so she should have a good impression. Carson passed his hearing and vision test. SHe said we would look at speech again next year.
Macie also went with us. Her ears are finally clear! She did manage to squash her finger in one of the cabinets. She was in her stoller because Carson was having such a fit!

Glad all went well. We go for Megan's 1 year shots tomorrow and it's the first time I'm having to do the "shot trip" alone... ugh. On a side note, if you worried about Cason's speech we have some mutual friends who are speech therapists who I'm sure would just casually listen and give their impressions (Katie and Tressa).
WHAT?!?! That's all I have to say. Oh, and how were the shots? Your bossy big sister.
Poor Carson. You know...I'm a big baby too when it comes to shots (and I'm talking about for me, not for Bryce)!!
