2 year

Avery had her 2 year well-child check today and she's in the 50% for weight and 90% for height. A few weeks before the well-child check appointments, they mail you a survey to do about your child (to bring to the appointment), asking if they are doing certain things developmentally.... for example: " Does your child jump with both feet at the same time? Always, sometimes or not yet." or "Does your child say 2-3 word sentences- Always, sometimes, or not yet." Questions related to how they should be developmentally at each stage. They didnt have these when Jadon was little so its been kindof fun doing it with Avery. I'm pleased to say that she scored a 100% on her most recent "test".

I'm not surprised.... the girl learns a TON from her big brother, so verbally she can say everything, and she understands everything and is very quick. Physically she is a crazy person, dare devil. She's smart... however we've been working on colors, and she has no clue. Everything is either green or black. She'll get it eventually.

Only 1 shot today- her flu shot. She was so good the entire appointment (polar opposite of Jadon once again)...when the nurse poked her with the shot she said "owie, owie" and when she started pushing the medicine into her, then Avery started crying. She looked very hurt that someone would do such a thing to her..... if only she could understand how much more it hurts when she bites people!

Jadon is still in need of his flu shot, however for him at his age now, they give him the flu mist, which I personally think is worse than the shot. Yesterday he came down with a really bad sore throat (to which I spent all night worrying- hence, i didnt sleep well)... however his throat feels better today, but this morning he sounded like a man. He's getting plugged up and has a bit of a dry cough. I know i've said it before, but it hurts the parents so much more than the kids when they are sick. :(
