Our little Kayden is five freakin' years old! Last week, he had a dentist appointment and his five year well-child check all in one morning. His dentist appointment went well. They are just watching one spot where a cavity may be forming, but the dentist thought with some consistant flossing, we should be able to avoid a full-on cavity.
His doctor appointment also went fairly well. Before the actual appointment, they do a hearing and vision check. I was curious what they would fine in his hearing because we notice that he says, "huh?" a lot, and have been wondering if he is having trouble hearing, or if it is just a habit. Turns out that is just a habit, because his hearing is fine. His vision on the other hand, was--just like last year--not perfect. His left eye was 20-32. The doctor suggested that we take him back to the optometrist, which we will do. We took him for an eye exam last year and they thought his eyes were ok, but planned to re-check them yearly to make sure things didn't get any worse. So, within the next few weeks, we will be headed back to the eye doctor.
We also got the same lecture we got after his appointment last year. It seems his BMI is fairly high (100). Our doctor is fairly weight-conscience, so she made lots of suggestions as far as getting that number down. And, just like last year, I let all of that go in one ear and out the other. I do not think that Kayden is by any means over weight! He is just like my brother was when he was young--solid. He does not have a single roll of chub on him! Ugh, it's frustrating.
Over all, the appointments went well, and the BWW's was well-deserved afterward :)
