Our Big Man Bubba B had his three year well-child visit this morning. He did awesome. He was very cooperative and talked a lot to Ms. Amy. I told him this morning that they were going to check him over to make sure he was big enough to go to preschool. Amy made sure to tell him he is definitely ready :). Our buddy is 40 pounds and 40 and 1/2 inches. That puts him in the 97th percentile for his weight and the 95th for his height. He is the average weight and height of a 5 year old. Most people over estimate his age when they try to guess. Amy was pleased however that he was well proportioned. She gave him a clean bill of health and said he looks great. His next appt. is at 4 years old and he will be getting shots at that one...YIKES.

Wow! I bet he's excited he will be able to go to preschool now. :) Great picture of him Elizabeth! He is a big boy @ 40 pounds, although I agree with Ms. Amy - he's definitely well proportioned. He does look older than 3. (By the way, so does Sadie. I'll post her stats after her visit in December, but she is growing taller and taller everyday!)
I always think it is "lucky" when kids come in and measure the same number in height and weight. It doesn't happen very often!
glad the appointment went well! It doesn't surprise me one bit of how big he measured up but SO glad they are not sending you to a nutrition class due to it :) He's just one strong kid! I might have to use the talk about them seeing if you're ready for preschool with Mace. She might do better at her visit :)
