You recently had your 2.5-year checkup and at 39 pounds and 38.5 inches tall, you are in the 97th percentile for both weight and height. So when I say that you are my big girl, you are literally my big girl!
You are growing up so much. You know all of your colors and many of your shapes and are getting better at identifying letters and numbers. You are pretty self-sufficient and can eat, get dressed, wash your hands and brush your teeth all by yourself. Just today, you came home from the playground, took off your sneakers and exclaimed proudly, "I take off shoes myself!"
And as evidenced by that five-word sentence, your language skills are also developing really well. Whether you're asking me, "You want my acahdo [avocado]?" at lunch or requesting that I "stay here lil bit please my room" when I tuck you in at night, your sentences are getting longer, more complex and more articulate [albeit sometimes scrambled in a Yoda-like fashion]. Some of the things you say are pretty funny, too. One night, I asked you if the red bump on your leg was a mosquito bite. You replied, "Mosquito duh duh duh duh duh duh [ominous Jaws tune we hum when we play our shark game] chomp! Bite me!"
As for potty training, you have mostly good days and go several days with no accidents. But then you'll have one day where you have two or three accidents that day. (On those days, do you just decide, "Screw the toilet! I'm a gonna pee wherever!"?) And when you do go in the potty, you make sure that I still acknowledge it. When we first started potty training you, I clapped and cheered every time you went in the toilet. Now that it's been several weeks, I don't always do that and if I don't, you order me, "Clap!" Yes, ma'am!
Love,
Mom
