Just a small task

We had our 4 year check ups this week. I cannot believe they are four. Honestly, where does the time go?

In this appointment, our pediatrician went over the typical checklist.

How are the breathing? Fine
How are the eating? Fine
How are the hearing? Fine
How are the kidney's? Soon to be fine
How are the eyes? Fine
How are they doing in school? Fine
How are they sleeping? Fine

and then he had to go and add,

I'm still laughing.
