I just got back from my son's doctors appointment. He had to have his four year check up so that he can start preschool next Monday. He had to get four shots! I felt so bad having to hold him so they could give him shots. He just cried the whole time. I know how he feels because I am terrified of needles and hate getting shots. But everything else went great. His hearing and vision are perfect and the doctor said he is healthy. That is what is really important. His height and weight are only in the 25th percentile of kids his age. The doctor said that he is going to be short and skinny. Which does not surprise me at all because I am only 5'0" and my husband is like 5'7". LOL.

I had to take my daughter for all that a few months ago. She didn't have to get her shots for preschool though, they let her wait till we registered for kindergarten. She did really well with her shots. It was funny because they made me totally restrain her like they were afraid of her. I said she wouldn't be a problem, she does fine with shots but they said they don't take any chances because not too long ago they had a 16 year old who freaked out and kicked one of the nurses in the stomach! shocked My daughter took them like a trooper, she didn't even cry. They said her hearing was good, but a few months later she ended up with tubes in her ears because she had fluid in her ears and partial hearing loss. She is doing good now and has her full hearing. And she starts kindergarten aug 25. sad lol

My eldest had all hers at around 3 and half she was ok having the shots but very poorly after and her arms were swollen and she wouldnt use them for over 24 hours, has to be done though. She is well above average for height but a lot of my family are over 6ft

There is nothing wrong with short and slim. Look at the bull riders that are under 5'5" tall and those are some of the toughest men in the world. Healthy is all that matters.
