TJ: Birthday recap

Yesterday, TJ had his five-year well-child visit. He weighs in at 41 pounds even, and is 41.5 inches tall. That's the 58th percentile for weight, and 21st percentile for height. It now makes sense that he is one of the shortest kids in his class!


Much to his delight, TJ did not need any shots. Due to the trauma he experienced during his August shots, I was actually going to postpone any further shots for awhile. I don't want him to be afraid of the doctor's office. However, that was unnecessary, as he is current on everything. Nolan had to get the other half of his flu shot, which offended him greatly, but he handled it well. Sam was just along for the ride.


TJ's birthday was everything he dreamed. For the third birthday in a row, he got lots of Thomas toys. Who says kids flit from one fad to another? He certainly hasn't! He also got several shirts, which he needed, some books, a couple DVDs, and a new bike. The bike, courtesy of Bill's dad and step-mom is beautiful. The unfortunate thing about having a fall birthday is that it will now sit in the garage and wait for those rare warm days for TJ to ride it.

Here are a few pictures. Everyone loved the cake, by the way!
