4 Year Check-Up

After all the excitement of turning four years old wore off, Nathan had to go to the doctor for his four year check-up. It turns out he is doing just as great as we all expected. He's a little on the little side measuring in the 22nd percentile for weight and 28th percentile for height. Luckily, they don't do head measurements anymore so we can stop making fun of him and his outrageous melon. As we were waiting for the doctor to come in I couldn't resist taking a picture of him in his little gown.

There is never a dull moment when Nathan is around. When the doctor asked him to hop up and down on one foot he decided he would rather show her some of his breakdancing moves he learned at Marietta Square with Paw-Paw and Lady. After showing off his moves he finally decided to show her that he could easily hop on one foot.

It wasn't a good day for poor little Nathan, though. After the check-up we headed over to immunizations for his four year shots. He took two shots in each leg like a champ. He didn't cry, but he mentioned that he didn't like that as he walked out. To make things even worse (and he never even complained or acted scared), he had to do blood work for his physical form for pre-k. He gave a vial of blood through his arm and cooperated the entire time. He did mention that he didn't want to do that again. Wait, there's more. He had to pee in a cup too. As we walked back out to the waiting area he said, for everyone's amusement, "Are all these guys going to pee in a cup too?"

He was such a good boy after all that so we stopped at McDonald's for lunch. Baby Sister prefers fried chicken over McDonald's so we stopped at Church's for her.
