The boys physicals were scheduled for August, but, got a call from the doctor a few weeks back that they had an opening the next day, would we like it? Nothing going on, boys are just at home bouncing off the walls, so, sure, why not?
All is well….sight and vision for Christopher are fine (Matthew doesn’t get that check until next year)….and of course, the charts…
Boys got a hepatitis booster…..a lot of whining about this; Cpher was almost laughing when he got his and that quickly changed to an ‘Owwwww’….Matthew was second, and was a little more apprehensive about the experience.
Christopher:
Still tall, still way above the curve. Kevin just hit 6’0 about a month ago (15 years, 6 months). Cpher, if you predict him out, hits 6’0 right at his 14th birthday. Of course, Kevin was about the 50% part of the chart for the longest time, and now he’s not….
This rise away from the charts is not a good development….
And it’s reflected here….the doctor wasn’t all that concerned about the weight gain though, she had a talk with me, and with Cpher, about it, but her advice was that it was only the difference of a few pounds, and she said, given how active he is, a spike here or there is just a part of growing up. If he’s still here a year from now, that would be a different matter…..
Matthew:
He’s very steady on this curve…so was Kevin. Matthew’s a bit higher than Kevin was….90%. Always gets lost
A very small gain here…
Which isn’t reflected on this chart. Nothing much to report on Matthew’s physical…..as always, the doctor takes off his socks and checks his funky toes, but, we’ve never noticed any problems in athletics, so, he’s probably stuck with the overlap and curve for the rest of time….
