30 MONTH CHECK UP AND OTHER FUNNY THINGS

Yesterday I took Alexander for his 30 month check up.   The doc says he looks good, healthy, and developmentally on track.  His stats are:  weight 31 lbs 75th% and height 93 cm (36.5 in) 75th %.  He had to get a shot and took it pretty well.  It's amazing how much stickers make things better.

In the doctor's office the exam table is on top of a large fire truck that Alexander thought was just amazing.  He couldn't get enough of it.  He was pretending to drive it and asking all sorts of questions about it while I was filling out a questionnaire on how he's doing in different categories such as problem solving, speech, motor skills etc.  I was reading the question, "Can your child put together a sentence with 2-3 big words?  If so, please give an example." and he asks me, word for word, "Where is the fire engine truck going, mommy?"  So yes, I would say that he can put together a sentence with 2-3 words.  It appears that his speech is right on track.

A couple of posts ago I listed a bunch of funny/memorable things that Alexander has said.  Well, here are a few more:

• As I was putting him down for his nap the other day.  "I love you, I love you.  You are my sweetheart."  Seriously.  Melt. My. Heart.
• In response to seeing the band-aid on my finger:  Alexander: "Mommy, did you get a boo boo?"  Me: "Yes, Alexander, I did."  Alexander:  "You have a band-aid on it?" Me: "Yes, I do."  Alexander:  "Do you want me to kiss it, mommy?"  Me:  "Yes, I would love that."
• And right now instead of saying "yes" he answers a lot of questions with "su-re".  He says it as a 2 syllable word.  Pretty funny.
