Tough Guy

Dear Sawyer,

You had your 3-year checkup today and you handled it like a boss. The nurse had to prick your finger and draw some blood and I was nervous for you but you didn't cry or even flinch. You watched the nurse draw your blood with some trepidation but you sat perfectly still the whole time. And it was the same when the doctor later gave you a Hep A vaccination. He stuck the needle in your shoulder and you were so still that I didn't even realize he'd given you the shot until he was already done. You are so brave and so tough! You are also so curious. You kept asking, "What the doctor doing? What he do now?" When the doctor was finished with your exam, you grabbed my hand and pulled me so hard toward the door--you wanted your lollipop!

You are currently 31 pounds and 37 inches tall, putting you in the 25-50th percentile. And at the rate you are growing, the doctor predicted that you will grow to be 5'9"--taller than both Daddy and me!

Love,
Mom
