Ryder had his 5 year old check this past week CONGRATULATION!!! he finally has hit the thirty pound mark. He weighed in at 31 pounds minus his shoes. He is also 39 inches tall. This is only amazing if you take into account last year he was 28 pounds & 36 inches tall. He is growing however slow it might be.
I forgot that the 5 year old checkup was more involved. Finger poke, eye test, and pee in a cup. He managed the first two with only slight hesitation. The third he flatly refused claiming he didn't need to go potty. We had a second visit from a student pa and he too tried to convince him to try. I told him that everyone as some time in their life has to pee in a cup. He replied even Joseph Smith? I was now puzzled of how he made that jump. I replied yes I bet he did. Why?? When we visited his house we saw it. Huh???
Do you mean Brigham Young? Who?? Brigham Young who's house we visited earlier in the year and they had chamber pots sitting beside each bed. The kids had been fascinated with the prospect of peeing in their bedrooms in a bowl. However, they didn't like the idea of dumping them.
Ryder then agreed to try if I held the cup. Good thing I have steady hands and he doesn't wiggle to much we had success in under a minute.
He was really lucky that he already had his shots for kindergarten, but the dreaded flu shot was still to come. We asked the Dr if he really needed one and the reply was YES!!! I told Ryder that I would get mine at the same time. Lucky for both of us they had the nasal spray vaccine. Ryder demanded that I go first, not bad. His turn came and he did really well. Good enough for a treat of a free ice cream cone.
He was pronounced Healthy and ready for school.
