My baby boo will be three years old in 6 months! I cannot grasp just how fast time goes by. Already planning for his summer birthday!
Today was his 2 and 1/2 check up. He's in the 95th% in height and 15% in weight. So perfect! After his appointment with his pediatrician we had to get his blood work done to check his anemia. I walked into the lab fearful and worried because last time he had been a disaster. To my huuuuuuge surprise he sat down and held out his little arm for the nurse; all while watching the process. No tears. No screams. No kicks or bites. He made me proud. Nurses were so pleased and he was happy with his post-lab work lollipop. Should get the results back by next week. His doctor decided to keep him on the iron supplement for another six months regardless of the test outcome. It's a relief and I hope this time next year we won't have any of this to deal with.
Behavior wise... well it looks like the terrible twos will be dragging into the threes. Tantrums are still a daily problem. Working on finding a very easy to follow daily schedule to try and avoid these outbursts. Times outs are getting a little bit easier...at least easier than last week!! *fingers crossed* He's now expressing himself a lot better and he's able to tell me what he wants with words now!! It's a little difficult to understand at times but he's definitely making progress and for that I am very glad.
I had hoped to put him into a school-like program but it's not going to be possible. A little disappointed but I've decided to take advantage of this time to teach him myself. I'm thinking a bi-lingual day full of activities and crafts. We'll see how it turns out! ;-)
