I know I’m a little behind, but we had a
\n note worthy Wednesday and it’s just taken me a few days to make
\n note of it :) I took Lex in for his 3yr check up and everything
\n is fine. I think I’ve mentioned before that I was a bit curious
\n about his weight and his current eating habits (very limited
\n menu and doesn’t even eat much of that). He weighed in at 32lbs
\n (2 1\/2 up from his 2yr appointment) and 37″. The doctor said
\n his height and weight are right where they should be for his
\n growth curve and there’s nothing to worry about. He’s just
\n above (weight) and below (height) the 50th percentile. He also
\n didn’t seem concerned at all about the eating situation. So I’m
\n no longer concerned either :) Some of Lex’s friends have put on
\n 5-7lbs between 2 and 3yrs, so I was worried the doc would be
\n worried about Lex’s smaller gain, but I guess since he’s right
\n on his curve all is well.<\/p>\n

After lunch
\n and an unsuccessful nap attempt we headed out to the
\n playground, with a quick stop at CVS on the way (Lex has
\n graduated to chewable floride tablets instead of drops). As I
\n was checking out at CVS Lex said “mommy, I need to use the
\n bathroom.” I was psyched and played the toilet-training-toddler
\n card to get access to the employee only bathrooms (no public
\n restrooms there). Fortunately it was big and clean so I could
\n deal with Lex while Eve roamed around. Lex was a little
\n confused that there was no little potty for him, but sat on the
\n toilet instead and put lots of pee in there!! Yay Lex! It
\n hasn’t happened again though, and I’m wondering if he really
\n knew he needed to pee or if he remembered the last time we were
\n at CVS when he pooped in his diaper and I didn’t have any clean
\n diapers so he had to stay in the dirty one until we got home. I
\n gave him a little speech while changing him, saying that there
\n are bathrooms everywhere and if we’re out, like at CVS, and he
\n needs to poop he should tell me so we can use the bathroom
\n instead of his diaper and risk discomfort and a rash. Blah,
\n blah, blah. I think he just remembered that, saw were were at
\n CVS, and made the connection. But whatever, it’s better than
\n nothing :)<\/p>\n

At the playground we met my friend
\n Diana and her daughters, Sarah and Lauren. The playground had a
\n really nice sandbox and Eve spent the entire time there. Not
\n for my lack of trying to move her along. Any time I picked her
\n up she wailed and tried to dive out of my arms, back into the
\n sandbox. Lex also managed to get a very big splinter, maybe
\n from the wood chips all around, I’m not sure. It was probably
\n 1\/2″ long and looked huge in his tiny finger. Alan and I had a
\n gut-wrenching, ear piercing torture session trying to get it
\n out later that night. I also realized that although I have
\n several first-aid kits kicking around the car, none had
\n tweezers.<\/p>\n

Other than the splinter
\n related activities, Wednesday was a lovely day all around
\n :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
