Hockey Player is fun. He is a good kid. We find lots of humor in his physique. He is ripped with muscles. Dad has him do a minimum of 25 push-ups a day. A whole bunch of jumping and sit-ups. He is ten with a 6-pack.
He is 4 foot 5 inches (total 53 inches) and in the 28th percentile for his height.
He weighs 51 pounds. Up one pound from last year. Yep, one pound! He grew two inches but managed to only gain a pound. That means he dropped from the 8th percentile for weight to the 1 percentile. There is no such thing as the 1th, and you can't say first percentile. That doesn't make any sense.
Doc looked at Dad and asked if Hockey Player had lost his appetite? I asked Dad, "did you tell him what he wants to eat for his birthday?" NO!
On the menu for today:
Pancakes and Bacon
Steak, potatoes and corn on the cob
Those are the two meals we will have with Dad.
The other meal, well it is a grab and go, cause we have to go to Awana tonight.
Of course, we won't discuss how many snacks this kid eats. Dad is constantly telling him to eat something. It bugs Dad to no-end about how little his son weighs. He has free reign in the kitchen according to Dad. But does Dad tell Doc this...NO! So Doc suggests we start making Hockey Player a FOURTH meal. Now if Doc would slow down just a little and look at all the kids, he would realize our kids eat. He might realize that Hockey Player is the only one to get the DNA from his mother's side of the family. I won't post pictures of my aunts or myself. Before children we were all kind of twiggy. I was always embarrasssed by my twiggy arms and legs. It wasso frustrating when my friends would get irritated with me for being skin and bones. I had no control over it. He even has had a Grandpa or two that never had to worry too much about the mid-life paunch.
Cook 4 meals! When do I get anything else done? The doc even recommended a menu of donuts and steaks for the kid. Will insurance cover that? What about all the ice cream Dad seems to think Hockey Player needs. Maybe we should go into ranching and raise our own beef and dairy cows.
Is it any wonder, I don't like being in the kitchen much anymore and I defer the cooking to Big-O-Daddy-O as much as I can!
But he is healthy and that is all that matters. Wait till the other Hockey moms hear about this, they will laugh. He is one of the smallest players, definitely the lightest in the weight department but he holds his own.
