2 Year Checkup
I took Logan to the doctor this morning for his 2 year checkup. He is 32.6 pounds and 35 3/4 inches tall (just shy of 3 feet!!!! WOW!) He is the 90% for weight and 78% for height. I'd say that he did pretty well overall. We brought his doctor kit and he looked in my ears and checked my heartbeat while we were waiting. He did NOT like laying down on the exam table at all. She laid him down to mark his length/height on the paper and he just cried. Then he didn't want to get onto the scale. I finally had to hop on and show him that the numbers change. He thought that was cool and was standing on his tip toes to see the numbers. After that, they took a picture of his eyes. I was not really expecting this part of the exam and hadn't talked with him aobut what to expect. But, he handled it pretty well and held his forehead against the machine. They just snapped a picture and then send this off to a lab and then notify us if they see anything that doesn't look right. Finally, he got to see the doctor and she said he looked great. I talked with her a little bit about potty training and she said that boys don't usually potty train until 3-3 1/2 years. Really???? Oh, boo for me if I wind up changing diapers that long! (If anyone reading this has successfully potty trained a boy earlier then this please share it with me! It will make me feel better....) She also told me that it's time to make the switch to skim or 1% milk. For some reason, I was expecting her to say 2% but she said that it has too much fat. At the end, he had to get one shot since I sort of delayed his vaccines a little bit. (My personal stance is pro-vaccine but I never allowed him to have more then 4 shots at a time.) But, the good news is that he doesn't have to get anymore shots (besides flu...) until he's 4! Yeah! He was a such a trooper for it all and was very excited to get his Cars stickers at the end.
After his appointment, we went over to Shane's office and chatted for a bit before having lunch out with Daddy. How lucky we are to be able to have family time at 11am in the middle of the week!!! Once we got home, I put poor Logan down for a nap and he's been sleeping for 2 1/2 hours! I think that shot just wore him out. We're having a pretty calm week, and taking advantage of it. I had to get a TB test yesterday, so we drove into "town" for that, then his apt this morning, and then again tomorrow for me to get the TB test read. But, a friend invited us to go swimming in the morning which will be fun! We have another week before heading down to TX to visit Granny and see some family for the 4th. We're trying to soak up all of the family time that we can because Shane has to be in CA for 2 whole weeks at the end of July. He got nominated for a special project, so it's a huge honor for him to get to go. But, it's kind of bittersweet that he will be gone that long. He is working so hard at his job and I have to say that I am super proud of how well he is doing and how hard he works to continue to make us priority number one despite all of his work pressures.
