At his 3 year appointment his stats were:
weight- 37.6 pounds 95%
height - 38.25 inches 50-75%
Something happened at his checkup I wanted to make sure I remember because for me it was an eye opening moment.
While telling his doctor that about his temperment, and that while he is super sweet and cuddly we also struggle with stubbornness, aggressiveness, bossiness, basically alpha make in every sense of the word!
The ped said "just as the bible says we should nurture who we were born to be, and the world needs people just like that who are strong willed and bossy." I just looked at him like you are so right! we need to learn to nurture his obvious abilities in a way that will bring more to his life and the world. that sounds pretty out there but you get my drift.
The ped also said he was very smart and his speech is right on point. When I asked is it crazy that he is still not potty trained and actually being quite stubborn about it, he said absolutely not it was fine that he wasn't. Although not even two days later we had a huge breakthrough in the potty training area and are well on our way to no diaper land for this one!
We still have not pulled the preschool trigger but we are going to be starting a preschool co op type thing at home.
He is still nursing ( I really can not believe it) but it is really hard to wean a child who is nowhere near wanting to wean, it seems cruel but I know we are going to have to start the process if he is not going to.
He still sleeps in bed with us and has a couple night wakings still but we wouldn't change it for anything. There is nothing like it.
He has never had a haircut and I think we are getting ready to do it, although now the kid place is closed and my sister has moved away and I am not sure where to go.
He is a picky eater, he actually hardly eats at all. Chicken tenders, bread, pretzels and fruit.
Here are the images from his three year old session with the amazing Christina Higman....
IT WAS HOT!!!!
