2 Year Old Check-Up

Henderson had his two year old check-up today. I was so nervous about it before hand and worried that he would be screaming the whole time. I came very prepared with a small arsenal of items to distract him, but really I didn't even need them. Henderson was awesome!

I luckily did not have to take David with me and Stephen dropped him off at Honey's on his way to work. The appointment was during David's morning nap so I was so glad that Honey could keep him at her house!! Henderson had to get one shot (we were supposed to get it at his 18 month check, but he was sick then so they decided to wait until this appointment). I had a lollipop ready. He cried for about one second and then wanted to eat the candy so that was a good distraction. He then wowed the doctor with all of his skills:-) He was telling her about how he knew all of his letters, colors, and could count to 10. He told her what his name was and how old he was. He also mentioned something about wanting to "go home in mama's car!" hehe.

Anyway, all in all it was a good trip to the doctor and we don't have to go back for another well check until he is three!

stats:

weight 28 lbs (I think she said 55 percentile)

height 34.5 inches (50th percentile)

We discussed how the new regulations say a child should be rear facing until they are TWO (as I am sure many of you have heard). HHL has been forward facing since he was one and we couldn't have gone a minute longer. I am DREADING trying to keep David rear facing until two. He already hates his baby carrier and wants to be able to sit up more (just like his brother was). I have a feeling he is going to feel the same way about rear facing (especially while his big bro is forward facing!!)
