I took Hudson for his 5 year check up last week and I didn't know, but there were a lot of routine tests he had to do. He did a vision and hearing test, blood work and urine sample. If I had known, I could have prepared him for the tests. He did really well though!
He weighed 42 lbs (50%) and is 3'9.5" tall (90%).
For the vision test, he sat in a booth with headphones and had to hit a button when he heard a sound. He looked so scared, just sitting there with no expression on his face.

For the vision test, he looked through a machine at pictures and say what he saw. He teared up a little for the blood work, but it was over quick. All of his test results were normal.

Hudson, Leilynn and Emerie did the rookies triathlon again this year. Hudson was nervous after we signed him up. He did that last year and did great, so we were sure he could do it again. Josh took off his training wheels a while back and that's what he was nervous about. We practiced with him and he could do it by himself, but he was still scared. We prayed with him and encouraged him that he could do it. I had a lot of anxiety as a kid and my mom gave me 2 Timothy 1:7 to read. I was quoting it and some others to him to help get him through his fears.

Hudson was in the 5/6 year old non swimmer division (with floaties)
Josh got in the pool with him and he didn't end up using his floaties. He swam 50 yards in 2:11.
Parents couldn't go in the transition area or be on the bike course. Josh put his training wheels back on since he would be by himself. Hudson felt a lot better about that. I was a little worried on how he would do by himself, but he did great! He rode 1 mile in 9:46.

Emerie was pumping those legs and going fast!
Hudson ran .5 mile in 4:57
We were running around trying to see him on the course and I got this shot of Josh running along side of him.

Hudson and Emerie finished, then we watched Leilynn in the 7-10 year old division
Grace came to cheer on Hudson
Leilynn getting out of the pool heading to the bike course
She had a cramp in her side and struggled on the run, but did great on the swim and bike.
We were so proud of Hudson for getting out there, trying his best and having fun!
