5 year old checkup

Last week I had my 5 year old checkup.  I got changed into a paper gown and a doctor listened to my lungs & heart, looked inside my ears, eyes and mouth and felt around my tummy and neck.  I took a vision test and even did lab work.    The doctor said I was very healthy but a little on the smaller side for my weight.  My height of 42.75 inches is right at the 50% for 5 year old boys, but my weight, 38.2 lbs, for my height is only in the 20% range  Because my weight was low for my height he ran lab tests - My H&H was right at the bottom of the normal range, all my electrolytes and thyroid tests were normal.  I even had to give them pee and poop in a cup - and that came back normal as well!  So the doctor wants me to eat more iron rich foods and eat as much food as I want.   I think if he saw my tall and skinny daddy he wouldn't have worried so much about my weight.

At the end of all this Dr. Yazdani said I am a healthy boy and can start Kindergarten next year.  Yea!
