Two Year Dr Appt

Brandon had his 2yr Dr's appt yesterday, and he did pretty good. totally fine with the nurse, he is 35inches @ 75% and 29lbs @ 60%. After she left he got dressed, and then asked for his coat so I put it on him, and then he expected to leave the room. After I told him we had to stay he cried. So I did the normal office room stuff to keep him busy when i realized they had glow in the dark stars on one of the cabinets. so i turned off the lights so he could see the stars, so until the Dr came in, he just turned on and off the light switch saying "dark" "light".

Dr.Schaeffer came in and did the exam, he's doing great on all of his developmental things, he's still not eating veggies and the Dr told me we need to reduce his milk to 16oz a day b/c he can become anemic. So i'm off to introduce some more juices.

During the exam brandon's laying on the table and he just leans his hands behind his head (where your elbows are pointing out) and he looked like an adult that was laying on a hammock. It was freaking adorable. so she listened to his chest and he just acted as cool as can be like "yeah im just hanging out without my shirt on, i'm cool". It was too funny.

So no shots, i have to take him to get blood work at some point for Lead. Everything went well. He still has a little cold from the croup, but the Dr said thats normal. Even though its 30/40 degrees outside he still wants to go outside to play as soon as he gets home from daycare, so spring cant come fast enough for us. He may not be cold out there but *I'm* cold.

Yes i still need to put up his birthday pictures... Just trying to catch up on all of my work in the office, and then next week we have a national sales meeting so i'll be swamped then (plus 3 nights out with work dinners) And on top of that they are hiring a new rep in Texas that will be my outside partner so i will need to train them in addition to normal work. But wouldn't give it to me if they didnt think I could do it. (only one other inside rep has to do this too) So i look at it as job security. (although that sentence is non existent these days)

This weekend I am going out with some girlfriends friday night (amy is visiting from tx) and then sat morning after gym class my mother, james and nicole (his g/f) are taking brandon to the science center to play.
and although there was a split second scare this morning with the amsterdam plane crash, i'm happy to know my dad will be back home sat night. (he was in amsterdam this week) I know B deff misses him!

Brandon officially started the two's class this week. He started the week with not separating well from me in the AM, but today ran right to the table for his oatmeal. I think the separation issue also had to do with me leaving last week. So although its a normal 2 thing, i'm hoping that will end quickly, b/c we are hoping to try to wean him from his thumb sucking soon. (i wanted to wait until he's comfortable at daycare first). He also has MORE pictures next week, these are the segal majestic type ones that they do 2 times a year.

Have a great weekend, and happy Ash Wednesday! (ash weds was the day brandon was actually born on 2yrs ago, i went to church at 6:30am to get the ashes that morning!)
