Ethan's LATE Check-Up!!

We missed Ethan's 5 year old check-up when Grandpa got "sick" in December so we finally took him today! Our little big guy has gained 20 pounds and 3 1/4" in the last 14 months! Needless to say we were shocked but not overly surprised! He has gone from a size 5 to a size 8 just since June and is now wearing a size 2 shoe!!! Dr Glass said they usually see about no more than 2" growth over a year! He said that he is entitled to the additional poundage due to his height increase. He is well above the 100% for both! WHEW!
Dr.Glass checked out a few other things and gave Ethan a clean bill of health! and a few lectures on eating vegetables! We will see if that helps! Doubt it! For those of you who know the struggles we have had with Ethan eating and still have on any night when he glances sideways at the incomprehensible food on his plate that actually resembles REAL meat and vegetables, this growth spurt really surprizes!
He was incredibly brave and calm while getting his shots and was happy to report to Dr. Glass that he will be on a soccer team! But that is another post!
