Sydney had her 3 year check up today. She's still in the 90th percentile for height, although her weight percentile went from 50th to 80th, the doctor said that it wasn't that she had gained a lot of weight, but that she was following her curve...whatever the hell that means.
My little talker....she didn't STOP TALKING the entire time we were there. She would say "doctor can I look in YOUR ears ?" of course our pediatrician, god love her, would give her the ear monitor scope thing and let her look in her ears, mouth, eyes. Syd would say, "say aaaah" the doctor would follow her instructions talking about this and that with me, and then Syd would follow it with, "GOOOOD JOB!....I have to look in your ears because you are sick."
She told the doctor that she had a doctors kit at home, but that hers didn't have a flashlight. She's a crack up. Needless to say her doctor was impressed with her language skills and when Syd started in with the continents she was amazed.
Syd has been learning about continents at pre-school. Her teacher says that she is very consistent at pointing them out on the map each time and knows, Canada, Mexico, Africa, Australia and Antarctica.
Syd said, "it's where it's sooooo cold, nobody can live there"
The pediatrician asked her where it was really cold and Syd pointed in the air...."waaaay down here." I said, where is that honey, she responded as clear as a bell "Antarctica"
Smarty pants.
She continued to ramble and play and as the pediatrician left the office she turned to me and said, "I'll bet you get a kick out of listening to her all day"
"Yip, that's what I get...a kick out of it" I said sarcastically. :)
I did the distraction thing when the shot came out like Proud Prowser commented on the other day and it worked like a charm. Syd said "owe" and rubbed her leg....we didn't skip a beat and kept talking about the dinosaur book and she immediately refocused.
I LOVE THAT !
My little Spence man is getting his second tooth. Poor guy.
He is such a sweetheart. When you pick him up he clutches you and it's almost like he's giving you this great big hug. He's all over now. The only thing he hasn't mastered is getting down. He pulls himself up and cruises from toy to toy to couch to chair to whatever is in reaching distance...and then he cries for you to come and get him down. He can get down....I've seen him do it. I think it's a control thing. For sure ! :) ha ha
Cameron has decided to crawl on the front of his car. He can't start going up. I'm only ready for them to go forward right now. I'm not ready for him to hit this next step. Climbing is out of the question. I keep asking myself, who's going to break a bone first. I'm thinking Cameron ! We'll see.
He still hasn't taken off on the walking thing. He will take several steps but just doesn't have the courage to take off.
I still feel like they should be these tiny little people. They are getting so big.
