Aidan's stats!!

So we headed to the doctor this morning for Aidan's 4-year well child check-up. He was awesome and the doctor even agreed that he looked great!! We talked about everything, the behavior issues, his snoring, coughing, asthma (he doesn't have it), etc.

He is going to be on a nasal spray for about 3 weeks that will either help, or not, his snoring and coughing. Our Doctor (we have 2 that we go to whenever I take the kids in), thinks that this is allergies to dust mites perhaps, or just something else. So if he improves on everything that he is looking for, coughing, snoring, and there was one more I can't remember, in three weeks then we know its allergies. If he isn't improved, then we will have to figure out the next step.

Aidan had his blood drawn for an iron count and they had to get blood twice because the first reading was low. The second reading was just fine. He melted down and collapsed when he heard he was going to have to do it again. He wasn't even poked a second time. Once it was over he was fine though. He will randomly fuss and say it hurts but he's brave.

He also had his eyes checked and I don't remember what she said but she was starting to get irritated with people walking in front of us and I think a bit at Aidan because he was not focusing on what he should. Not my favorite nurse there though from other times we have been in too.

I opted out of giving him his kindergarten shots today because he was so worried about it all morning, and the whole way home. I figure when Brookie gets her 1-year shots in January then we will get Aid his kindergarten shots....that should be interesting. Anyhoo, I need to get lunch while Brookie is calm and Aidan is asleep. So here are his updated stats!!

Weight-51.8 pounds 97+%
Height-44 inches 97+%
BMI-can't remember this but it was 97+% also.

He is healthy and sturdy. We are hopefully going to enjoy this beautiful day that its turning out to be!!!

Between Aidan's 97th percentile and Melly's first percentile, I'm wondering if there are any average-size kids out there!

I miss my little man Aidan so much! I have no one to build clock towers with, and play firetrucks and swing around upsidedown :(
