2 Year Old Checkup!!

Just got home from Sydney's Two year old doctors appointment. She cried most of the visit - she usually does!! But we did manage to get in some good laughs also~!! She weighed in at 32.5 pounds (she gained a pound in Minnesota - must be all of that sweet corn she ate!!) and she is 37 inches tall!! The doctor said she is above the 95 percentile!!

During the visit, Sydney was very aware of the cries and noises coming from the other rooms and started talking about it in front of the doctor. The doctor was shocked and said, "She just talked in a complete sentence!" I said yes, she has been for some time now. The doctor said that Sydney is VERY advanced for her age as most 2 year olds know about 20 words and are usually not yet able to put the words together to say sentences. I told her that Sydney has been saying her ABC's and counting to 20 since about 18 months old and is now able to identify feelings and colors. The doctor laughed and said, "You have one special girl there!"

She said that our next step is to make her first dentist appointment and to start introducing potty training. She said Sydney is bright enough that she will probably catch on quickly. I said that we were not in any rush and that we have the potty chair and make it available to Sydney but that is as far as we are taking it right now. Then, we had the shots!!!! She stopped crying as soon as I picked her up and was very excited about her band aides!! My little trooper!! We then came home and had Popsicles...yummy!!
