Average Pook

Noah had his four year-old checkup on Wednesday and it turns out that he is just an ordinary average guy. He is right in the middle for height and weight. He tipped the scales at 39 pounds, which means that we are just about ready to ditch the five-point harness carseat and move to the high-back booster. We're excited about that, but would be even more excited if he could do the seatbelt himself. It does mean that we can do more errands in the Civic now and won't have to use the van for everything.

The tricky thing was that he had to get 4 shots. Amanda chose not to tell him about them in advance, but just held him in anticipation of them. The nurses are so good that it was over almost before he realized what was happening. Amanda said that he had this horrible look of shock when he got the shots. It was kind of, "What are you doing to me?" He cried for about five seconds and then was done. He's pretty resilient.
