2 Year Check-Up

Yesterday Hayden had his 2 year check-up and first appointment with our new pediatrician Dr. Morris. The appointment was a success, although a bit traumatic. On the growth chart Hayden is improving-he's in the 25% for weight and 60% for height. He now weighs a whopping 26 pounds and is 35 inches tall. Yay Hayden!! We discussed his eating habits (she isn't worried-he won't starve), how he needs to start feeding himself (this is more of a challenge for Mommy it turns out), potty training (she insisted that we don't push it-boys are usually trained closer to 3 than to 2), and just a few other general topics. Jason and I were very impressed with her, and know that we're lucky to have her as our physician.

Now for the trauma...Hayden had to get FIVE shots yesterday (2 in each leg and one in his arm). He did great-was very brave, and was finished crying long before Mommy was!!! Stickers make everything all better, and the nurse who gave him the shots, gave him at least 10 stickers!! She went from being the devil to his hero...just like that!

Of course Mommy was a mess, and ran right out and bought him a toy for being so good...but by the time I got home with it, he had forgotten all about it. Little stinker!

Today he's sore and has a temp, but is in pretty good spirits considering. I think it's going to be a day spent reading lots of books and maybe making a couple of projects-lots of low key stuff.
