Lauren's BMI
The schools are now required to take the kids BMI (body mass index). It is to help identify kids that may be over or under weight. I had gotten Brandon's earlier in the year. It was as I suspected. LOW (35%). He eats like a bird and is very thin. I have started giving him stuff in the morning with extra protein and vitamins. Yesterday I got Lauren's. It was a lot higher than I expected. I know she has really gained weight over the last year. But I didn't think it was that bad. The score was 90%. If you don't know, 85-95% is considered at risk for being overweight. I called the doctor because I wanted to know if I really should be worried or if I am over-reacting. I told him the score and his response was "WHAT, last time I saw her she was a skinny minny". I then explained about her gaining a lot over the past 6-9 months and how I have been trying to change her diet, but it wasn't working. So now we go in today so he can see her. He wanted to see her right away. I guess I am not over-reacting.
