Since TB is all sorts of weird I'm going to be careful with this post so as not to humiliate my son in 20 years.
Anyway, after bath time last night my husband yells for me in a frantic voice. He was diapering and noticed a small HOLE in the folds of L's cheeks. Slightly above where the business goes down.
Our pedi teaches at a medical school on Thursdays so I have to see his colleague. The other guy won "Top 29 pedis" for our area but I don't know if our personalities mesh well. Nothing I can do, I am just thankful to be fit in. I refused to see the woman in the practice because she is the one who misdiagnosed L's eye problem, caused chaos to ensue, and kept calling my kid the wrong name.

Google sacral dimple. If it's flesh colored and not hairy it's not likely a sign of anything.
They're much more common than you might think.
It *can* be a sign of tethered cord; this is all part of DS1's VACTERL birth defect. I hate being all too familiar with this crap.
In any event, it's more likely that you'd see something with LO's posture if there was spinal involvement. As far as you can tell LO typically sits straight, doesn't favor a side, slouch to one side, etc?
DS1 was checked at birth (he has sacral dimple amongst other things), and was given the all clear. Come to find out sometimes it doesn't manifest itself until 5-6 and even puberty. Awesome, huh? -- all of this is specific to OUR case, not all sacral dimple cases, sorry, didn't mean to go off on this... it hits a soft spot!!
