Benjamin's 4 Year Dr. Appointment...

Benjamin was supposed to have his 4 year dr appt. last fall but with H1N1 in full force the dr's office called and asked if we could reschedule for March. So on March 1 Benjamin went in for his 4 year well check appointment. He is definitely growing up. My shy little boy took off his coat, hat, mittens, and boots and went with the nurse to get weighed and measured by himself. He told me to stay in the room with Gunnar and that he would be right back. He came back and told me how much he weighed and how tall he was. He was a typical boy as he added a couple of inches to his height (he said 42.5 inches) but he was pretty close. He weighed 36 pounds (45%) and is 40.5 inches (30%) tall. He visited with the doctor, answered questions, and chose to wear the little hospital gown so he wouldn't get cold! I wish I would have taken my camera as he looked so grown up! He is very ticklish so when the doctor examined him he was laughing the whole time. He even chose to get his kindergarten shots this time so next time he will just have a visit. I can't believe what a grown-up boy he is becoming!
