Joshua is 37 months!
Growth: We had his three year well child check up this month and he's doing great. He actually increased a bit in height and weight percentiles (to about 14% and 11%, respectively). He is still in 2T clothes, which annoys me as I'm ready to move to the next set, but guess I'll just wait a bit longer. All the other things the doctors checked out - motor function, talking, etc. - checked out fine. The first thing Joshua said to the doctor was "No shots!"
On school: Joshua is not looking forward to the toddler room tomorrow. There were tears at lunch time. I'm hoping that once he gets there and understands that is the only option he'll be ok.
On the alphabet: He has J down! He can recognize it in different contexts. He might have I down too, but Isaac usually chimes in quickly for that one. There might be a few more too, I haven't really checked lately.
On playing: He loves to play. He especially loves to play with Isaac and will pretty much copy anything Isaac is doing. He loves Legos and Duplos. He likes bike rides and playing in the sand. He like books.
On emotions: Oh, it's been a hard month with Joshua's emotions. There are tears all the time, and sometimes I don't understand what's going on as the smallest things can set him off.
On sleeping: He is sleeping from 8pm-7am pretty well. Some days he takes a nap and some days he doesn't. I'm wondering if some of the emotional problems are due to not getting quite enough sleep, but it's just an awkward time. He will sometimes put himself down for a nap during quiet time instead of playing. (But sometimes we make him stay in the bed and sometimes I think the nap just happens where ever he is.)
On food: He's slowly starting to eat a little bit better, but still not a ton better. He is starting to understand that in order to get a treat he needs to eat all his food, and so sometimes manages to do so.
On cuddles: He still is oh so cuddly, but really only when he wants to be.
