The muscle shirt


The boys are big fans of the muscle shirt. Why, I have no idea. It could be due to the fact that they are secretly fans of monster truck competitions, mullets and Nascar racing. Plus the pediatrician said that Kale had very defined Trapezius muscles. I had no idea that we even had a muscle with that name. Let's get that boy a bowflex and enter him in some competitions! We would have to make a major investment in bronzer/self tanners and we may need to throw in some protein shakes because Kale is not a "box" like most kids at 4. He's more of a rectangle at 42" tall (86th percentile!) and 36.5 lbs (can't remember percentile). Anyway back to the muscle shirt...per Lucas, Avery wears girl muscle shirts. This petite little flower weighed in at 11 lbs 5 oz (about 50th percentile) and 22" (26th percentile). She check out perfect if you don't count a touch of torticollis on the right side. Being that Kale had severe torticollis and we did the PT with him we are going to just pull out the old PT notes and go at it on our own and reevaluate at her next appointment. Shots knocked her down pretty good. She has been very sensitive and sleepy...if you hold her. Kale got a "metal" of bravery for taking his shots like a man.
This little lady is getting very close to sleeping through the night (hopefully I'm not jinxing myself) as she has had a couple 8 hour sleeps. Loving that!
