A decided that he wanted to participate in a medical study for 9 and 10 year olds. They are studying diet, exercise, nicotine exposure in relation to growth and development and diabetes. So we went this morning to answer a bunch of questions, get measured in a variety of ways, get our blood drawn, and A also got to have a bone scan. It was an interesting morning and good for him to see how the researchers work. We both thought that it was funny that they have to do everything 3x's. The bone scan was so cool. They let A bring home a print-out of his bones! A hated the blood draw, but decided that 2 minutes of torture was worth the $25 gift card to ToysRus. (A's blood clots fast, and he has low blood pressure; so it really was fairly awful.) I am sure that you are all wondering what A bought with his money- Indiana Jones figures, of course! Though he did buy a bag of peppermint patties to share with the rest of us - think that qualifies as healthy eating?!
