Connor’s school was closed on Thursday and Friday, so Stuart and I both took a day off to accompany Connor.  On Thursday, I took Connor in for his annual Doctor visit.  Connor was very excited to go to the hospital and to see the doctor.  His enthusiasm went down a little bit when he was actually called in by the medical assistant, but he was still quite cooperative.  She checked his weight, height and blood pressure.  Then Connor changed into the gown in the room and waited for the doctor.  He was a bit shy when the doctor came in; however, he was doing what he was told, holding the stethoscope to his chest for her to listen to his lungs.  Then Connor became more relaxed with the rest of the check up.  He even giggled and told the doctor “tickle” when his ears were checked.  Everything checked out well and I was happy to see that his BMI is trending downward now.

Weight = 37.4 lbs (92 percentile, down from 97% last year)

Height = 39 inches (79 percentile, up from 62%)

BP = 82/51

BMI = 17 (84 percentile, down from 95%)
