Some Stats

Will had his 2 year well check yesterday with Dr. Brown. Alison, you will appreciate this...Will was very confused because he kept asking if we were going to see Josh. Nope, no Josh Brown at Dr. Brown's office. But anyway, the visit went really well; he didn't need any shots so that kept us tear-free. He weighs nearly 22 lbs. now, and if you can believe it that actually lands him on the charts for his weight for the very first time since he was born (10th %ile, but still...). He is a mere 30 in. tall, so that still leaves him off the chart in that aspect. But, he's grown 2 inches since she saw him last summer, and that's saying a lot for Mr. Will. She was pleased with his growth, and Will was a well-mannered, patient boy while she checked him over.

Matthew had his very first dentist appointment last week. I know, I know. He's 5. I was worried about what they would say about his grey teeth up top that have been that way since last spring, but it turns out that nothing needs to be done. The nerves in those 2 teeth are dead, but the permanent teeth above them look great, so we don't need to worry about removing them. Whew! Matt did so well sitting in that chair and doing everything the hygienist asked of him. He was even able to sit still long enough to have x-rays taken. I was proud of him. He walked away with an awesome new Shrek toothbrush and some Sponge Bob toothpaste. Wahoo!
