The four year check

Buster has just had his four year check by the health nurse and his immunisations.  The immunisations didn't go so well and gave us a little scare.  Prior to him getting his needles a doctor came in to check his ears and heart and detected a murmour in his heart beat.  He told us this could be normal in young children but sent us off to have an ultrasound just to be sure.  We are still waiting on the official report, but the ultrasound technician said he couldn't see anything abnormal and if there was any cause for concern it would have shown up before now.  So we are breathing a sigh of relief but still want to get the report results for final peace of mind.

After Buster's health assessment with the nurse I couldn't help but compare his results against Henry and Milly at a similar age.  Here is the comparison.

Buster (4 years old):  weight 14.8kg, height 101cm
Henry (3.5 years old):  weight 18.7kg, height 103cm
Milly (3 years old):  weight 16.1kg, height 100cm

Nanoo recently had the kids over for a sleepover and she measured them against a wall.  Henry is now 138cm tall and Milly is 123cm.

Buster has a lot of catching up to do and maybe he will have a growth spurt and maybe he won't.  For now he is still in size 2 shorts and trousers and we are about to break out the size 3 shirts for him to try.  He is our little pocket rocket.
