Layla turned two last month. She went for her second year doctors appointment this week. It really was more like a 25 month appointment but it was the only one they had that fit our schedule. As usual Dr Sloik was happy with her health and development no concerns at all. Her weight was 30.4 lb(86%) and 35.5 inches tall(69%). So really no change a little taller than average and a big heavier. Her BMI is 17 so no concerns with being over weight. They completed a BP for the first time 82/40, which is also normal. So everything is "normal" Exactly what we what!
Layla is "potty trained" now. No accidents in weeks,and dry diapers in the morning as well. I hope that is a sign of things to come, because it was really rather easy to train her. Although I give her doctor full credit, I never would have trained her so young. We even took the change table out of her room since they only thing she used it for was a climbing table.
Meal times are pretty routine, we don't force her to eat. If we make dinner and she doesn't eat then oh well. I am a believer that is a toddler is hungry they will eat. And it seems to work, other than vegetables. Layla eats tons of fruit including water melon, and "bango"( which is really mango). Her favorite meals are rice and mac and cheese.
We have routine play dates, and Jatovi takes her swimming at least once a week. We tend to go out and play every morning, then lunch. After her nap some days we stay home or run errands. Layla loves playing at the sand box at the airport and the Durham Museum. She has started to enjoy swings as much as a slide but they have to be close to the ground so her feet can touch.
Layla's real favorite past time is watching Mickey Mouse Playhouse! If I turned the TV on she would watch Mickey for hours! We tend to let her watch TV first thing in the morning while we shower and get dressed, because we know she won't move. After her nap if we have nothing planned and an episode before story time at bedtime.
Laylas hair is finally growing in fast. Thank fully its not thick yet, it remains soft and thin and very curly! I still style it curly and Grannie still likes it braided. So she get her hair done ever day. Jatovi jut pulls it back in a pony tail, and it falls out mostly but at least he tries.
Parents morning out is still going well, and she loves it. One day when I picked her up her teacher told me that she had spent most of the morning in "tine out" I was shocked because they had never told me anything bad before. It would appear our sweet Layla doesn't like to share. After this information we started to work on sharing with her. Boy the teachers were right Layla doesn't like to share! So with this only child thing working against us, we work with her sharing her toys with us and kids she has play dates with. It is a work in progress.
Two looks like it is going to continue to be challenging, but completely different than the past two years. For the most part we have fun and enjoy every minute watching our baby turn into a little girl.
