He had his three-year appointment today. When his pediatrician said he is in the 45-50th percentiles for both height and weight I broke down crying because I've been waiting so long for the day he wasn't behind.
His vocabulary has exploded the past six months, and I can't even give a good ballpark on how many words he knows. I wish I hadn't stressed so much about his language skills. He parrots everything we say and consistently uses 3-6 word sentences.
My favorite words:
yes = wes
milk = mok
sister = sssss
ok = otay/ oday
Santa pj's = Fanta pieces
truck = guck
doughnut = dont
chicken = chichin
tablet= tabet
Wreck It Ralph = Meck Ick Walph
Cars/Lightning McQueen = Vroom
TV = TVV
eat = E eat
oatmeal = umpmeal
animal crackers = oatmeal cutters
last day of being 2
He counts 1-20 but skips 13-17. He started singing! It melts my heart. He loves singing his alphabet, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," and "Happy Birthday." He sings "Happy Birthday" like this: "HAP pay...to whew....HAP pay...to whew...HAP pay...uhh Mika...HAP pay...to whew." He sings the end of the alphabet song like this: "T, V, V, Double, X, Y, Z. Now Iiiii...(high pitched) ABC!...next time...ME!" But I think it's the cutest, especially since I've had to wait so long for him to start singing.
We are encouraging him to "read" books. He has memorized a few simple board books and can "read" those, but we're trying to point out words and spell some of them now. Not because we expect him to start actually reading, we just want him to start understanding that words exist. He has partially memorized some of his books, like "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site" and can recite the words as we read.
Potty training is going really well, especially considering we had to move twice and go revert back to diapers for a two-week vacation while he was two. He wants to pee in the potty so he can be a big "peeschool boy" (preschool boy). He usually has an accident every day, but sometimes he can go a whole day without one. He still wears pull-ups at night. He likes to flush the toilet and wave bye-bye to what's being flushed. He will also pretend to flush his potty.
His favorite toys are still trucks, but he loves doing puzzles and other things as well. He can do twelve- and twenty-four-piece puzzles on his own. He can do matching games and stringing beads. Lacing cards are still hard for him.
Other randoms:
We taught him to say, "WHAAAT? OH DAY" like that Lil' Jon song.
He knows how to use the PS3 for Netflix, he knows how to use the tablet to play games and watch Netflix and Youtube, and he knows how to use our phones. He also knows how to click the little rectangle for "Skip Ad" on the Youtube videos on the computer and tablet. He loves to take pictures on my phone. It's kind of annoying but kind of funny to pick up my phone and see twenty pics of his fingers/the floor.
He doesn't have a "lovey," but he likes to go to bed with a car or truck.
I want to say something about the terrible twos, but I don't want to jinx it.
He does the "big boy swing" at the park and screams at me to go "be be be be fast" (very very very very fast).
He took this duckface selfie when I was alseep. Just about died when I found it.
