I brought Jack in to the doctor the other day, as his coughing and runny nose were just not going away. I asked, as it is so close to his birthday, if we could kill two birds with one stone and just get his well child visit out of the way while we were there. At age 6, they don't have much in the way of vaccinations, so we went ahead and booked him in for both things. The kid came home with drugs for allergies and the knowledge that he is the same size as most seven year olds! Jack measures at 42" high and weighs 55.6 lbs, which are both in the 91st percentile for age 6. Along with his 20x20 vision, Jack is riding the same line he has been since birth. That is to say, big for his age, but just right for his size.
Jack's personality is growing with him and is just as big as ever. He loves to help and his teachers told us that, while at school, the kid does not have a mean bone in his body (this is a bit different than at home, but we will take it!). He is reading at a pretty high level and is super smart. He likes to play with all the kids in the class and they said he does well wherever he is seated. That is not to say we haven't gotten emails home about his behavior. Turns out Jack likes to talk a lot in class and can be a bit disruptive. I attribute that currently to his age. Here's hoping I am right!
