Lucas' birthday is right around the corner, so we went to the doctor's office yesterday for his 2-year check-up. He was an excellent patient for our doctor, due to his studying up of Piggy Visits the Doctor and It's Check-Up Time, Elmo! He hopped right up on the scale. He weighs 31 pounds and he is 2 feet 11 1/2 inches tall. Big boy!
The doctor asked Lucas lots of things to see what he knew...she asked him to point to body parts, the colors of different objects, to count for her (he would only go to 3), and to follow simple commands. He was SO good for her! He liked being "tested." He would wait patiently and look at her like a little puppy dog in between commands.
He didn't have to have any shots, but he did have his toe pricked so his iron levels could be checked. He was very brave. He didn't cry at all! He was happy to get a band-aid and a sucker. And his iron levels are finally high enough! They have been too low for over a year.
I think that hits all the high points of the visit! He's a healthy, happy, growing boy!

Bravo Lucas for being so good at the doctor's office. I am happy that you are eating better and have had a great check-up. We are so excited for your party on Saturday. I went to the store today to buy wrapping paper and hope to get everything wrapped before Saturday. See you soon.
