Preschool Party and 4 Year Checkup

Birthdays are a big deal at Henry's preschool. You get to wear a special crown all day, cupcakes are always brought in, they use a special revolving/singing cupcake tray, all 3 classrooms meet to sing "happy birthday"...it is really fun. Henry was VERY excited that his day had finally come for his preschool celebration today.

Immediately after cupcakes we headed to the pediatrician for Henry's 4 year check up (bad timing, I know). Henry did a great job - did well on his vision test, got to pee in a cup for the first time (which he was very excited about, and is also one of the things that made me glad he is a boy!) and did the usual weighing and measuring. He is only up 2 and a half inches (to 41 and a half) this year, which I was really surprised by (I kind of think he was slouching a bit), and his weight is up 5 pounds to 39 pounds (no wonder I am having so much trouble carrying him!) He is steady in the 72-75% for both weight and height.

He had 3 vaccines, which was no fun at all, but he was a trooper and the good news is that he is basically done with everything but his yearly flu shots - hooray!
