12 Year Well Check-Up...

Last week, Remi finally had his 12 year old well visit. All checked out well and for that I am always grateful! Even his weight gain was great, which has proved to be tricky due to his medication. 

I love our pediatrician and one of my favorite things is the way he talk to the boys. He asks questions, he jokes, he prods and really gets a feel for their personalities. One of the things he asked Remi was what he wanted to be when he grew up, all while looking in ears, looking at eyes, carrying on with his his check-up. When Remi answered, he stopped what he was doing,  looked Remi in the eye and said "Wow, that is really cool!" I don't think it was a typical 12 year old response. Remi very confidently looked at Dr. Goff, and said, "I want to be an engineer for NASA." 

I look back on this picture Remi drew when he was 6 years old, of a rocket blasting off in space, of him as an astronaut, floating around in space and it makes me smile to know that 6 years later, he is still chasing those ambitious dreams!

Weight: 81 lbs
Height: 58 in

Remi is amazing! So thankful that his well check was good. He’s dangerously close to being taller than his momma! 😬And that’s a good thing. Glad he’s gaining a little weight too. Pretty cool that he’s hanging on to his NASA engineer dream. What’s the old saying…if you can dream it, you can achieve it! I believe he will accomplish great things! Love that you still have his drawing…kinda surprised but glad you did! πŸ˜‰ Love y’all bunches!! 😘
