Miller's 5 Year Old Checkup

Today was Miller's 5 year old checkup. We had been warned it was going to be a doozy and it was. Miller was all worked up about blood draws and shots before we even got there. Luckily, being the first appointment of the day means less waiting. We were in before our actual scheduled time.

Other than ridiculous crying fits prior to his blood being drawn (finger prick mind you, not a needle in the arm!) and the full blown screaming surrounding his 4 shots, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Miller's stats have him dropping back into the curve.

Height: 45 1/2 inches (91%)
Weight: 47 1/2 pounds (85%)

He's thinning out! I laughed when the doctor said these are the "square" years where the height and weight are normally similar and he also commented "You can go on most rides now."

Ah....other than a flu shot, he isn't scheduled for more until he's 11. I am pretty sure it will take that long for him to get over it. Being the sweet heart he is, he picked out a stick for Mason before one for himself. When we got to school, he had to walk over to his brother's room to give it to him.
