Plunket

The kids had their well-child checkups today.  It's an interesting system here:  if the kids are sick or need immunizations, they see our family doctor.  But for well-baby visits just to check that they're growing and developing appropriately, they see a Plunket nurse.  Plunket is a family-support program.  They employ nurses, obviously, and also organize neighborhood playgroups and put on parenting classes.

The boys both behaved like wonderful little gentlemen for the nurse (OK, Arram cried when she examined him but he has a thing about strangers).  They both got clean bills of health and we were congratulated for doing right by our kids. 

Amiri is 15.35 kg and 96 cm (33.8 lbs and 3 feet 2 inches), just about the 50th percentile for both.  Arram is 9.81 kg and 75.5 cm (21.6 lbs and 2 feet 6 inches), at the 75th percentile for both.
