I got a text from Sophia (well, Mimz got a text from Sophia's mother) telling me she held a baby lizard and asking if I could play in the park after school.  I went to school, as I do every week day.  Mimz was waiting for me when school let out and we went to the park.  I was upset that Mimz had not brought my bike.  After that little melt down, I had fun playing with Sophia.  We saw a big black and red ant that Mimz found out was a "cow killer ant" (it does have another name) and that they should not be touched because their sting is very painful.

We came home from the park and I took a shower because my five-year-old well baby check-up was today at 3:10pm.  Mimz took me and Barbara met us there.

We had to take my traditional pose sitting on this chair. Mimz told me that Dr. Lacour is baby Riley's doctor also.  I asked Mimz if she was kidding me, but she wasn't and I was pleased.

Both of my eyes were 20/30.

My hearing was 25.  Mimz said that was good.

My weight was 43 pounds which is just under the 75 percentile for boys my age.

My height is 44 inches, which is just over the 75 percentile.  I am tall and lean.  Doctor Lacour said I will be a six-footer.

  My blood pressure was good.  Everything was good.  I did have a flu mist, to help me avoid getting the flu this winter.

Doctor Lacour listened to my heart and lungs for a long time.   Part of the time he had his eyes closed.  When I was a little kid and played doctor, I would close my eyes when I listened to everybody's heart.  I am very observant.

Dr. Lacour asked me to kick, and I kicked with the leg he was not holding.  He pretending I almost kicked him.

This Darth Vader was outside my examination room.  I am to come back at age 6.  I will not have any immunizations until age 11.   I need to learn my phone number and address.

We thought I was going to have baseball practice at 6, so Mimz and I went over to Barbara's to visit and play while we waited for time to go to practice.    Mimz had a snack of a bran muffin.  I like them, but wanted potato chips.  I had a few but not too many, so I would not spoil my dinner.  I didn't understand what "spoil my dinner" meant.   We played at hitting each other with pool noodles for 15 minutes, when Mom called to say practice had been called off.  Mimz and I would have stayed for dinner, but we wanted to leave before the traffic got so very heavy.  It is a 20 to 30 minute trip without rush hour traffic.

I had a bath before 8pm, so I could possibly be asleep by 8:30 which is my bed time.
