Joey's checkup!

Today we went in for Joey's 3 year old checkup. He did much better than I thought he would since he HATES going into the doctors office and usually cries the whole time. He did great getting on the scale and getting his height measured and actually let the nurse take his blood pressure. Then into the office we went and when the doctor came in I thought we might actually have an appointment without a fight! He let her look in his eyes, ears, and nose without any problems but then came the mouth. I think he was remembering last time we were in the doctors and had a strep test done and he threw up because his mouth was glued shut. But we managed without too many kicks at the doctor.
He looked like a very healthy 3 year old with only one minor problem. He snores really, really bad at night and still does not sleep through the night very well. So after seeing his ginormous tonsils, the doctor decided it was time to be referred to the sleep clinic. So we will be having a new adventure which with this child I'm not too excited about! He only got to have one shot this time and only one nurse came in to give it to her. I warned her about his hitting and kicking and she said she was used to it. So I held his hands and kissed on his poor face while the nurse got the worse end of the deal. All I heard was her repeatedly saying "wow, you are strong for such a little guy!" She was finally able to give him his shot but without him screaming "I don't like you" at her and telling me that shots aren't his favorite along with how he didn't like that bed! Wow, does he give me a workout!
So as far as stats going......he is 41" tall which is of course off the charts and weighs in at 34 lbs which is in the 75%. I asked her if he was overweight because all he does is eat all day and he is heavy to carry, but she said no he was perfect. I guess he is still 25% taller than what he weighs, but man is he heavy to carry! So I guess we are good for another year and will update later with how the sleep clinic goes!
