I took Cars for his 5 year wellness check appointment today (the one I forgot to schedule in August!). He is at the 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight. Right on the path he has been on pretty much since birth. The doctor asked about his speech as she mentioned that he was not sounding his R's correctly. We've decided to wait to see if he gets them. The S's and Th's will have to wait until he is 8 before we do something about it.

During the appointment, Cars was asked to copy some shapes and then write his name and draw a self-portrait. The doctor said he did a good job then she pulled out Jax and Dex's same eval they had at his age and let me tell you - Cars' did rock! He was spot on with the shapes and his self-portrait had so much detail!

Now, the differences could be attributed to the fact that he is actually 5 yrs and 2 months old (vs the other two who saw the doctor within a couple of weeks of their 5th birthdays). Also, Cars is already in kindergarten and I that could be it too. Or he could be just that much more brilliant than his brothers.

Quick, what was that number for the Quest program contact again? ;)
