Our "BIG" 2 year old!

We went for James' two year well check this morning. He started crying as soon as he saw the nurse. It was not a happy visit. He is starting to remember "this is the place that gives me shots"! I didn't think he had to get any shots today, but one of the shots he was supposed to get at 18 months was missed because of a national shortage. So, one last shot before his 5 year shots! James was 33 lbs(95%) and 37 1/2 inches tall(over 97%). He is one sturdy, tall boy! The dr and nurse just kept going on and on about how big he was. He doesn't seem that big to me, but I guess he is the size of an average 3 year old. The only thing that has bothering us about James is that he has had several eye irritations the last year. The Dr seems to think that it is a mild allergy. We are not going to treat it at this point, but keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse. Typically his eyes will mildly water for a few days at a time and several times he has gotten a red swollen eye lid. It doesn't seem to bother James and goes away quickly. We feel blessed to have a healthy 2 year old boy!
