Nico Gets a Check Up


Nico went to the doctor to get a physical before he starts school as well as an ear and eye test. He has perfect hearing, even though he doesn't seem to hear when you when you ask what he's getting into! His left eye was good, 20/30 but his right eye was weaker at 20/40 which we will watch as he gets older. He weighs 41 lbs and is 41 3/4" tall-- we told him he was a square 41x41. Unfortunatey at this visit he had to get five shots! We never mentioned it ahead of time and when the nurses came in they told them they had medicine. Phil held his arms while he laid down and one nurse held his legs. The other nurse gave him two shots in one thigh and three in the other--his only reaction? He said "Ouch" after each shot, but never kicked, cried or anything. Even the nurses were amazed at how brave he was. Afterwards we took him to pick out some candy as a treat for being so good and he asked if he could pick some out for Phil and Oksana. That's are sweet boy!
