Lachoneus is funny. He likes to pick the male dandelions and blow away the fluff (or have me do it) because he wants to see the middle. He calls the center a bear. He says "I found the bear!" I have no idea why but he does it every time we go to the park.
He is talking so well! He is doing better at using his words instead of just crying when he is upset.
He has moved on from wanting to watch only the same old movies. He loves new movies! We got Gnomeo & Juliet recently so it's his favorite.
And Tiberias still loves music so he likes the new movie too. I looove it when Ty dances! But Tiberias is not one to do things because you want him too...I think he is shy. He dances when he feels like it...not when you are dancing.
We are just starting to give Tiberias a spoon and liquid in a cup so he can learn to use them.
Luke is making slow progress on potty training but atleast it's progress.
Lachoneus and Tiberias went to the Pediatrician two days ago for their yearly checkups. Dr. Martin (our boys' doctor) said that I have two healthy boys. Lachoneus is 3 yrs and 3 months old weighing 35.5 lbs and is 39.4 inches tall.
This puts Luke in the 75-90 percentile for his length and weight for his age.
At these visits I receive a page on what Luke should be and may be doing at this age and how we should treat him differently. It includes how we should be disciplining him and more.
It says he should brush his teeth twice a day and take him to the dentist. I have been brushing his teeth only at the end of the day and have a dentist appointment scheduled this week. So I just need to start having him brush after breakfast.
It says I should use isolation and ignoring for discipline as opposed to shouting and spanking. So we will adjust our way of discipline (we've used all four at different times up until now).
We will start sitting at the table as a family for dinner. Sterling and I enjoy sitting on the couch together for dinner so we can watch a tv show and then down as soon as we finish eating. But we are suppose to keep the tv off during meals and sit together at a table. No problem.
It says potty training depends on the positive attitude of the parents. We've been potty training so long it's hard to be positive about it now. But I will try once again to stop being negative and only focus on the positive. Hopefully he will finally learn to be potty trained during the day.
Luke should learn his full name, his address and not to talk to strangers.
And we should get him a helmet for riding his bike.
Lachoneus says "no" a lot so we are now making him correct himself and say "yes, mom" or "yes, dad."
Lachoneus loves to be read to and learning. He loves school time at home. He loves going to school even more. The friends, time away from home and mom, the learning and the toys.
Tiberias is 14 months old. He weighs 21.6 lbs and is 31.5 inches tall. His head circumference is 18.74. This puts him in the 10-25 percentile for his weight for kids his age, between 50-75 percentile for his length. And between 50-75 percentile for his head circumference.
He is so fun and cute. He tries to put his own shoes on. He gets so excited to just be awake and out of bed with mom and dad both home. He loves going to the park to run/walk around. Roam free (for the most part).
He is learning to swing like a big boy. I stand there ready to catch him if he falls. And he loves climbing up to the slide just to worry me. He won't go down the slide he just like standing by it making he worried he will fall. There are gaps between the slide and the wall of the slide house where he could fall off. He likes to go from one side to the other...wherever I am not. Then when he does get on the slide he stands instead of sits. And it's just high enough that I can't safely reach him.
My boys are healthy and great. Lachoneus is better than ever socially and in every way. And Tiberias can turn his head right and left. He can turn much farther left and still needs to learn to turn father right. We still try to get him to turn his head right daily but he is no longer being seen by EDIS. And Luke stopped when he turned 3...that's the cutoff.
