2 year check up! CHECK!

So today was your two year checkup..only about a month late..

You were so brave. I was really fearful of how it would be since any time previous to this was gut wrenching torture. You are fine as long as the doctor is no where near us. The minute he comes close, there's a break down.

Well today, you did really well while he sat and talked to you. He was quite impressed with your conversational skills. He walked through the door and you immediately said "Hewo"  He was amused. He then asked mom, "So how are things?"  to which you answered. "Fine, thank you."  He did a double take, and asked me how old you were. "How old is he? I thought he was only two"  YEP! You're a smarty!

Then the check up started. Not at all your favorite part. The minute he pulled out his stethascope you broke down. "No, no, no" After you realized it wasn't going to hurt, you calmed down a bit. Then he checked your ears, which was a little bit of a panic, but not as bad as listening to your heart. Then he went to look at the mole on your leg. That was it, you went through the roof. You remember so many pokes and pricks from needles from over a year ago.

It broke my heart. Holding onto you while you nearly popped my head off.  Once the shot was over, and he offered you a cool Garfield bandaid for your boo boo, you were fine. Still a few tears and the sup sups, but fine. Then you remembered you got a lolli, then you were completely fine, said thank you and marched us out the door to get your reward.

Love you goose!! You're amazing, astounding and the light of my life!

My singing bird

So for the last few weeks, you've been singing snippets of songs. Just out of the blue you will start with a phrase you've picked up from the song. Yesterday in the car, you were sing songing like you do on occasion. There's not rhyme or reason to what you're saying it's just either sounds or a few words here and there. Well yesterday it was distinct. I could pick out that you were trying to sing "Sweet Baby James". Mom has been singing that song to you since you were a wee tiny baby. You tend to mix songs while singing which is really cute.

 Right now, you're trying to coerce daddy into putting yogurt into a bowl for you to play with. I would say eat, but when mom puts it into a bowl for you rather than feeding it to you from the cup, you end up with your hands in the bowl and spreading it around the table. You come walking into the living room singing the pawprint song from blue's clues. You know almost every entire word and sing it nearly perfectly. It's so adorable.

We spent last weekend celebrating your birthday with everyone. Marc got you an awesome Metallica shirt. :) You're going to be the coolest kid on the block!
