Here's how it shook out:
Kevin:
36" tall - putting him in the 90th percentile for height
27 lbs 4 oz - putting him in the 40th percentile for weight
Jason:
36" tall - putting him in the 90th percentile for height
29 lbs 8 oz - putting him in the 50th percentile for weight
So, the funny part is when Dr. Garber says, "Try to make sure that Kevin eats more and gains a bit of weight." The funny part of that is the fact that Kevin is a terrifically ferocious eater. But he's my marathoner, so he burns every bit of fuel he puts into his body as he runs around the kitchen table, the living room, his bedroom, the backyard, Heartbreak Hill, etc. etc.
After showing us Jason's chart, Dr. Garber says, "He's a perfect specimen." Or something along those lines. Duh. Both boys are perfect specimens.
Actually, they are 2 very different boys who are shaped differently. We did find a way to get Jason to run though. His last birthday present arrived today. A nerf-like Snoopy baseball bat, mitt and ball. Kevin kept saying "turn. turn" - Kevin-speak for "It's my turn Jason." And he kept trying to take the baseball bat. Until today and the arrival of Snoopy bat, Kevin never cared a whit about baseball and baseball bats. Jason spent the afternoon running away from Kevin and trying to keep his baseball bat from Kevin. So, like I said, we found a way to get Jason to run and get some exercise. Oh well.
