Today we visited Plunket for Darian's 15 month visit. We've gone so many months without a plunket visit that it felt so strange driving into the car park at the clinic. Although I have to say I've been eager to see exactly how big he's gone.
He was a very happy little chap and "chatted" away to the nurse and played with all the toys. She was very happy with him and was very impressed by his social skills and the fact that he was so energetic and boisterous.
Darian's 15 month Stats:
Height: 79cm
Weight: 10.86kg's
The nurse's notes:
Progress: "What an awesome big boy. Very active, some words. Eating and drinking well"
Examination: "16 teeth; clear skin"
Comments: "Continue to brush twice a day; Remember safety with an active toddler; consider trying milk again; Keep up the great work!"
Last week Monday we visited the Mobile Dentist unit in Te Atatu and the dentist was very impressed with his teeth. She said that I would be surprised at how many kids his age have cavities and rotting teeth, all because parents don't pay close attention to good oral health in their kids. That was actually quite sad. Darian brushes twice a day and loves brushing his teeth, although teaching him to spit is the trick! But we'll get there soon enough. At that time he had 14 teeth and two were cutting through, this week they're all out and he has 16 in total.
Tomorrow he is booked in for hi 15 month immunisations which I am not looking forward to at all.
Here's hoping he'll surprise me and be a strong little boy!
