2 year old UPDATE

So we took Michael for his 2 year checkup and he was 31 pounds and 35 inches tall.......he was in the 70% for both. He got a shot BOOOOOOOOOO :{ but on a funnier note.............this is what the peds told us:

"Michael has his permission to take this year off from learning anything new EXCEPT potty training" Why you ask well the majority of what Michael does is at a 3 year old level....such as:

-- Knows and recognizes all of the letters whether they are in order or not. And can tell you a word that starts with at least 15 of the letters.
--Knows and recognizes all numbers up till 20 and can count backwards from 15 on down
--Knows all colors even random ones like purple and pink (not just primary ones)
--Knows all shapes (including stars and octagons)
--Can ride a tricycle by using the pedals
--Can hop on one foot (this he has been doing for what feels like forever) but apparently is a difficult task.

I could not even tell how many words are in his vocabulary there are to many to count now!!

The most impressive thing that we think he does is while you are driving in the car he sees a red light and tells you to stop and as soon as it is green he tells you to go and at yellow he says...slow down!!! He says the numbers off of the speed limit signs and knows that when he hears the directional that we are turning!!!! TALK ABOUT A BACK SEAT DRIVER!!!!!!!

As for potty training...........well he has successfully trained all of his stuffed animals because when I ask him if he has to go potty he tells me that one of his stuffed animals does and puts them on the potty and picks them up and CHEERS for them and tells them that they did a "great job"!!! So obviously we have a lot of work in this area!!! ahahahaha

Well just a little update on our baby boy who is believe it or not 2 already we could not be any more proud of him. He is a joy to be with and in the morning when you open up his door he says "good morning mommy" and has a huge smile on his face. How could you have a bad day after that.
