Seamus had his well visit to day. He is 31 lbs (61st percentile) and 37 inches tall (73rd percentile). He did great and is right on track. He lifted his shirt for Dr. Art so she could listen to his heart and lungs. He even thanked her for the checkup and for the book she gave him. Then the nurse came in to do a finger stick (to test for iron and lead). He didn't cry and bled abundantly. The nurse said she wished he could teach the other kids how to do it!
I cannot explain to you how different it is to go to a well visit with no worries and no concerns. I used to feel sick when they would hand me the sheet of paper to circle the abilities your child has achieved and to mark off areas of concern. I think I finally stopped filling those out for Eve because they were too painful. I cherish well visits with Seamus. It's such a pleasure to be able to take for granted that he is right on track. He's a happy boy and a total pleasure to be around. And, thank God, he's typical and healthy.
