Healthy as a horse....

my son is. He is off the charts height-wise. (4'10") And he's in the 95th percentile for weight, but totally in line with his height. He was very brave, and had his blood drawn with almost no protest. He had his vision and hearing checked, and he can do both. Healthy, healthy, healthy. Makes me so happy.

Yesterday, when we were on our way to the doctor, David was telling me about what they discussed in class that day. He says, "Our teacher asked us what we would do if the war was here. And I raised my hand and said that I would go to my mommy." I asked how the class responded. He said,"Everyone laughed at me, even the teacher." I asked what the other kids said. He said, "They said they would go fight the bad guys." I told David, "You know, even real, grownup, soldiers that are in the war want their mommies when they are afraid. And I would want to be with you if bad things were happening. I think you gave a very good and realistic answer." He said, "I know. I think the other kids just wanted to seem tough." Smart, smart, smart. Makes me so happy.

I love him so.
