As usual, Haidyn did fantastic at her doctors appointment. We were in the waiting room and some other child was back in one of the rooms screaming her head off. Haidyn calmly asks, "She doesn't like the doctors?" LOL.
We saw Meredith, she's one of the Nurse Practioners at the office. It was the first time we met her. We liked her a lot. She was amazed at how well Haidyn spoke and her motor skills too. Haidyn was standing between two chairs and pushed herself off the ground and then started swinging her legs. Apparently thats a little advanced for her age. I guess she's finally caught up now. Gross motor skills weren't her strong point for quite some time. She's 37 3/4" tall and 29 lbs 13 oz. That puts her in the 90th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. She said she's going to be tall and lean.
Meredith told me, "Haidyn is not your typical 2 and a half year old. I want to show you 100 rooms with 2 and a half year olds so you understand." Haidyn is pretty laid back and answered her questions and let her do the exam without any fuss. Meredith said she's used to being kicked, slapped, screamed at ... etc.
Potty training has a new plan now. We're not going to talk about it, ask about it or anything for one month. Then we're going to get a basket of new special toys and stickers that can only be used in the bathroom and we'll start all over again. I think a break will really help Haidyn. Wish us luck in a month!
