So.

My son had his yearly checkup. He's only in the 9% for weight in his age group. The doctor suggested that Liam have a milkshake in the evening every so often to see if he can put on some weight. For some reason, this makes me LOL. Liam was all "Yay!" :D

LOL re: the milkshake. :D

I know! I think that's the best dr.'s order Liam has ever gotten!

Don't comment here much.. but thought I could say something on the colorblindness thing. I am color-blind (lol unlucky genes), but we didn't find it until I was 11. It never once hindered me as I was going through school (although I am not red/green). My father however is red/green and he likewise has never had issue with it (and is also an avid art-lover). :)

Also.. yumm milkshakes!

Thanks for the information! As a mom you worry about so much. Liam tends to love pink...now I'm wondering if he's really *seeing* pink as I would see it.

Yeah, the milkshake thing was awesome. heh.

The experience of colour is such a wonderfully subjective thing...meet enough colour-blind people, and you realize that we're all seeing our own palettes, really, and it seems to make the world a richer, more interesting place, to me! My husband is somewhat red/green colour-blind, and he still sees the world and art as beautiful - we might just disagree over what colour shirt he's wearing that day, is all!

I like the milkshake order, too. I had cake this afternoon and declared it was for Baby's sake, since I'm under orders to gain some weight... :D

[shellebelle93]

Oooh, baby weight gain...so fun to put on...so difficult to take off...

*hugs* Yeah, what you say makes sense. It just seems sometimes that there's one more thing my little guy has to deal with every year...

I hope Liam actually *drinks* the milkshakes now...

Dang.. the best thing Ive ever had a doctor order for me was motrin! I have no luck at all! *G*

One of my best guy friends in college was (and still is Im sure...hehe) color blind. The only problem he had that he ever complained a bit about was when playing trivial pursuit with people who would say the color of the question they wanted and not the actual subject *G* I did go do some approval of date outfits for him too just to make sure he didn't have some weird combo happening, but that could be just as much a guy thing as a color-blind thing. *G*
