This week we had all three kids go in for their annual wellness checkups. The youngest went first earlier in the week. He was all good still on the small side for his age but he is growing and catching up with others his age on a steady curve which is all that matters. No shots for him but we still got him a milkshake since he missed the eclipse. The older two were yesterday! The middle one got three shots, two were boosters and one was the first of the HPV. He'll go back in a few months for his second one. Oldest one this is her last group visit next year she'll be going solo without the boys tagging along. She got one booster for mumps because she's waned. Also, my husband told us to have a sleep study done because her tonsils are bigger than normal and she could have sleep apnea. Likely with family history. I'm glad my husband was there to make the appointment since he is a nurse and knows more medical things than I do. So we are going to try to get that done over the summer so she doesn't miss school if the doctor who sees her for the sleep study agrees she needs to have the study done. The fix for this is simple surgery to remove the tonsils. All three kids are healthy and growing and no other issues health-wise than normal.

No need to be happy for me. Kids are kids and being kids and growing like they should be nothing more.

They are mandatory in the US. They are free for everyone to get a yearly exam.
