***UPDATED***
We went to Henri's 5 year check up today.
Below are his stats:
41.7 lbs--50th percentile
3 ft 7 in--69th percentile
Plus two shots, containing a bunch of vaccinations. I'm delaying the last two (MMR & Chicken Pox) which are both made in eggs until I get the go ahead from Henri's allergist. Also, I didn't feel right anymore about giving my children a ton of vaccinations at one time.
Henri was so brave. I asked him if he wanted to get his shots and he said, "Yes, I want a sticker." He laughed and giggled with the nurses. Cosette cried when they laid him down, but Henri continued to be jovial with the nurses. When they each poked him in the thigh, he cried. It was very sad for me. I don't think he expected the pain.
***END OF UPDATE***
Now that Henri is five, I found that his doctor was addressing most of his questions to Henri instead of me.
This is fine and quite humorous though sometimes embarrassing.
Dr. T: Henri, are you in a booster seat? (referring to a car seat)
Henri: No, Mama says that since I'm five, I don't have to sit in a booster seat anymore. (referring to the booster seat he sat in at the table)
Dr. T: Do you drink milk or eat cheese?
Henri: No, I don't like milk or cheese.
Dr. T: Do you watch more than 2 hours of TV?
Henri, laughing: Yes!!! (No, he doesn't.)
Dr. T, after checking Henri's nose, he jokes: Oh! There's boogers up there! Do you pick your nose?
Henri, giggling: Yes, I wipe them on my wall!
Later, while his doctor and I talked about Henri's allergies, Henri said:
Dr. T, if I repent and put my trust in me (I think he meant to say Jesus), then when I die and get to Heaven, I won't have allergies anymore! I'll get to eat eggs and peanuts and tree nuts.
Dr. T: Yes. And since I'll probably get to Heaven before you since I'm older, I'll have a big bag of nuts for you when you get there.

Yvette, that's so funny! I enjoyed my brief conversation with him on Wednesday night. He seems like such a great kid. And Cosette is one of my nursery favorites. So is so cute and sweet!!!
hilarious! what a great kid! what a great doctor too. :)
Priceless! What are his stats?
XOXOX
That was so sweet! I especially liked the last part about a bag of nuts waiting for him in Heaven. ADORABLE!!!

It sounds like you have a great doctor. How wise of Henri to bring up that in Heaven, he will be healed of all allergies (and wise of his mother to teach him that).
I can't believe Henri is five. I still remember the first time I saw him. You were in the nursing moms room with him and he was laying on the pillow wearing very little clothing. You explained you were trying to get him to eat. He looked so tiny and sweet! Now he's just bigger and sweet.
