2 Year checkup!

Today (yes a 2 week delay) D had his 2 year checkup.
His stats are 32.8lbs (90%) and 36.5 inches (90%) in height. Overall a proportional healthy boy.

Besides communication he meets all other criteria of a normal 2 year old.
Our wonderful Dr. must have taken classes on how to deal with crazy moms because he just says the right things to me to calm me down. He still says most expressive speech comes between 2-3 years of age but as long as D understands commands and simple questions he's fine. He has an owie on his middle finger from a test and is now walking around with a band aid showing everyone the bird. He's also milking up the attention.
According to the Dr. we need to get rid of the paci cold turkey although he only uses it at night and for naps.

So, what else are you up to these days D:

• You love playing with your CD player. You know how to turn on the CD player, change CDs and hit play.
• You love anything with buttons including the Wii that you turn on for daddy everyday.
• You are now saying a few words but we're working on more with your great therapist Dee Dee.
• You wear size 6 diapers (which are a little big) but I hate seeing red marks on you from diapers that are too tight.
• You have been doing great on the potty, you go after breakfast and dinner but we'll be increasing that soon.
• You love to dance.
• You love music.
• You like to lead, you don't like to follow. Everything is on your terms so when we show you how to do something you don't like it but 5 minutes later you try it because you like to think it was your original idea.
• You have a great sense of humor, especially with grandpa. The two of you are so much alike, you just toy with each other. You won't do any tricks until grandpa leaves the room and peeks in because you just have that kinda relationship. You both laugh about it like you understand each other. Grandpa should know, he didn't talk till he was like 3 or older. The Marron non-talking genes as I call it.
• Grandma loves to watch you twice a week. She does mommy's curriculum so well because she's just as anal as mommy is.
• You know your ABC's, numbers, shapes and colors.
• You can do a new puzzle in 10 seconds flat.
• You love matching pictures, letters and numbers.
• You love drawing, especially circles, then you put dots for the eyes, ears on each side and a line for a hair. It's adorable and looks pretty darn good.
• You've started having tantrums. You will plop on the ground and kick and cry. The other day you hit the cabinet when you were mad.
• You listen to mommy and daddy when we say "NO" pretty well so you don't get time outs just yet.
• You still eat your veggies almost everyday. You love gummy bears, fruit, yogurt, puffs and oatmeal.
• You go by "D", "Daniel", "Danielek" (Polish), "buddy", "sweet pea", "snuggle butt"
• Grandma and Grandpa take you to classes during the week and you just love it. They sneak an ice cream shake here and there also.

You are a sweet, gentle little boy and we love you dearly even if we don't have a house for you just yet we're working on it buddy.
