Anyway, Will thought it went ok - didn't particularly care for his shot but loved getting a sticker & a sucker. He also showed off his swimming skills by laying on the floor & demonstrating freestyle to Dr. N. Too funny!
They are thrilled with his development & skills (except we need to improve his counting! - Yikes- hope he doesn't inherit my lack of math skills!)
As far as growth, his head remains at 19 - so no growth there (he reassured me this is not a reason for concern); his length is now 32 3/4" - which is great- he's up to the 10th percentile! His weight, however has actually dropped- both in percentile & in lbs! He is down to 25lbs! I informed Dr. N. that Will is very active- he runs & jumps everywhere & if he is wearing prosthetics than it is like wearing weights while walking/running/jumping. If he is not wearing them, then he must constantly be in motion in order to maintain his balance. Plus, he takes gymnastics class & we swim almost daily - & by swim, he doesn't just splash - he is going under & kicking & moving his arms to get places... & this week he began diving for toys. He is an active little boy. Anyway, the doctor is not too concerned about the weight loss since Will is a decent eater. I am upping his snacks some & we'll see what happens at his next checkup. I so wish I could visit the doctor & have him up my snack intake! :)
All in all - a great appointment! Yay for easy doctor days!
Walking Dover the dog (poor thing gets drug everywhere)
Saying goodbye to Cookie & Lovie on Sunday was really hard on both of them (& me too - wish they didn't live so far away!)
Will really enjoys opening presents now!

Walking Dover
The pup had to have a timeout on Saturday evening. I just had to take a picture - he's so cute quietly sitting by the wall.
On Sunday, he hit me & when I smacked his hand & told him no, he defiantly looked at me & hit me hard. So, he got a spank. We both cried as I hated having to discipline him on his real birthday. Oh, parenting is so hard sometimes!

What is this & how do I get inside? - love his expression!

I am loving age 2 - so far! I love the conversations we're having. I love that Will corrected my Spanish today when I was singing - he apparently thought I should pronounce something differently. I love that he is singing along with Bible songs in the car & that he almost has his ABC's down. I love watching him light up when he sees other kids & get so excited about new friends like today in gymnastics when a new kid joined his class. I love the hilarious things he is saying. I love that he is mimicking everything (although we have to be careful about our conversation topics now!) & I love that he loves pretending. Just tonight he played frog all over our living room. Recently he was a cowboy & yesterday he was a lion. He was also a dolphin today at one point, I think. I love how he puts great thought into the decisions I allow him to make (such as which animal towel he will use after his bath.) He loves having some choices & really seems to consider his options - so cute. I love that he knows exactly how to have a timeout & sometime puts himself there- like he just needs some quiet time. I do not love disciplining more - I dread that part of 2.
Ok - I'm tired- a 2 year old is lots of fun but perhaps a little bit of energy is used during the day. I'm off to bed & I love 2!
