health care

Micah had his second visit to the dentist yesterday. After having him brush his teeth, they painted his teeth with this pink stuff, which adheres to plaque.
Then they rinse it off and the remaining pink color shows where you missed when you brushed your teeth. Micah had done a very good job brushing:
Proud boy!
At least he didn't come back like this.

Then today, both boys visited Dr. Fristoe, their pediatrician. She gave Micah the option of taking one of the two vaccinations he'll need before starting kindergarten next year. His response: "I'll just wait until I'm six." However, he was perfectly willing to watch Levi get his two injections.

Some stats...

Body surface area: Micah = 0.74 m^2; Levi = 0.51 m^2

What?

Ok, how about...

Height: Micah = 43.5''; Levi = 33.5'' (97th %-ile)
Weight: Micah = 39 lb; Levi = 24 lb 2 oz. (45th %-ile)
