2 year check up. Our PERCH.

Gavin finally had his 2 year check up, 2 month late though. But, he is one healthy boy so that is all that matters, right? He weighs 26lbs 6 oz.!! We waited 50 minutes between the time the nurse left and Dr. Burns came in to see us. I for sure thought Gavin was going to blow anytime, but he didn't. He was so good! I brought along some 'new' and exciting things that would keep him occupied! A new matching game, some new cars (which were for the 'shot' time), a few books and some stickers. We played two games of match, had snack time and read 4 books, never once did he complain! Dr. Burns said that she was so surprised that Gavin was potty trained. He kept telling her, "my poops in the potty now" She thought that was pretty funny, and I think it made him very proud of himself. Shot time came and I pulled out the new matchbox cars for him, he held onto them whimpered and cried for about 5 seconds, then he saw the sweet bandaids they put on him and he was done!

Gavin even got a brand new book from Dr. Burns! It's called Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells. It's a cute book about two bunnies (Brother and Sister - Max and Ruby) who makes Cakes for their Grandmas birthday. They both want two totally different cakes. Ruby's is beautiful, and Max's is an earthworm cake with caterpillar frosting, yummy! Anyways, it's a really cute book! I would recommend it. I also believe the Max and Ruby is a t.v. show if I'm not mistaken!

Gavin is going to be our little 'PERCH'. Yesturday I signed him up for swimming lessons @ the YMCA. He starts on March 7th and ends on April 25th. I am very excited to get him into a class. I was going to wait until this summer, but then thought to myself, 1 - summer is when we will need the lessons to pay off. 2 - I will probably put him in another class in the summer anyways. and 3 - Reilly and Gavin are going to be in the same class, so I think Gavin will be more prone to get into the water and participate if him and Reilly are together! I think it is cute how they name the classes. The one they are in is called 'perch', haha too funny!

Have a great Day!
