Dentist and Doctor day

Adam is rounding out 2013 with his appointments in one day! 

He was super good at the dentist.  His 6 year molars are all coming in and he still has one wiggly tooth.  He got his first set of x-rays and fluoride treatment today. Very exciting?

Six year check-up at the pediatrician.  Not very patient waiting in the exam room. He decided that lying on the doctors' rolling chair and launching himself from wall to wall was the best way to entertain himself.  Or doing backwards somersaults on top of the exam table.   Fun! He is up to 53 lbs and 49.25 in.  (80-something percentile for weight and 95 percentile for height).  He was very relieved that he didn't need any shots.  Just the flu vaccine (which doesn't kick in for 2 weeks and everyone seems to be coming down with it). 

He was cracking me up with his answers to Dr. N's questions. He knew he should answer with healthy things - His favorite food being fruit and and his favorite vegetable being broccoli.  HA!  He told her he likes to play outside and play freeze tag (- but that's only at school).  I didn't say anything but she did tell him he should only have 2 hours of screen time.  He said OK and even came home and told Dave.  She also told him she would like him to learn to ride his bike this summer and to try one new activity.  I told her I've been asking him if he would like to go back to piano or maybe guitar lessons, basketball, soccer, or tai kwon do and he always says no.  The place I box at has a combination tkd class (kids and adults) so maybe if I do it with him, it will get him started.  As Dr. N. said - many kids that "have a lot of energy" tend to like the martial arts. We shall see....

Contacted Westerville Schools

Last week I contacted Westerville Schools to see if they would be able to provide any addititional speech therapy for Adam since we are in the district.    As I was emailing the lady I had spoken to about it last year, I was thinking how speech is usually done during the school day and chances would be slim.  I kind of would have preferred the response to be that but I for some reason the response I got rubbed me the wrong way.  "Since your son is not registered in and attending Westerville City Schools, the district is not able to provide services for him".   

Quick, to the point, and no apologies.  I'm just a little overly sensitive, I guess.
