Tommy and Janie had their check-up with Dr. Vallance this morning, and everything looked good! Nobody cried during blood pokes or Janie’s shot. It went as well as an hour in a tiny room with four children can go. The crazy thing is that Janie’s weight is a little under Susanna at the same age, but in general, those two seem to share the same growth trends while the big two share a similar pattern. Since Janie has always trended in the 40s on the weight charts, it’s not a concern, and we got the go-ahead to put her on 1% milk with the rest of the family. I’ve still been giving Q whole milk since I’m buying it for Bug, but Dr. Vallance said we might as well all just switch now. Only one kind of milk in the fridge for the first time in 8 years!!!
perfect specimen of health
