At Levi's 2 year check up the doctor reccomended Levi going to speech therapy since he wasn't saying 3 word sentences. I thought that on his second birthday that was a little too much for an average 2 year old, but that they started longer sentences later on after their birthday. Well, the appointment was made and the speech helper came to our house to give him a check to see if he needed it. To quote her, "he passed with flying colors". She informed me that "uh-oh" is a 2 word sentence, and "mama, dada" is as well. So, I wasn't worried anymore and I knew he was developing pretty quickly in the other areas since she tested him on those as well. Fast forward to 1 week later... "Mama, uh-oh, bubba no bed". A 6 word sentence! And it makes sense in a way. Translated: "Uh-oh mama, Bubba isn't in bed yet". When I layed down Levi without Bruce. And it is getting better every day. "Bubba bab boy me" is "Bubba is being mean (bad boy) to me". We are so impressed with his progress and we can't believe how quickly he is developing from a mumbling toddler to a talking little boy!
We are also surprised on his height. He goes up to Bruce's chin now! He is 36 inches tall, and the average height for a 4 year old is 37 inches! He is right on for his weight though, so he is a stick like his mommy! He also wears bigger clothes, which is a challenge with his skinny waist. And he gets himself dressed now, just backwards and upside down. He can open the refridgerator, which is not ideal, because he brings us things out of it that he wants! :) He can also open the car doors, which is also not ideal because we don't want him to ding into somedody else's vehicle! He is also the typical 2 year old. He throws a few fits, crys when he doesn't get his own way and takes toys from other kids sometimes. He is also attatched to my hip and it can be difficult to get him to play with new kids sometimes, it usually takes a little bit for him to detach from me...
Bruce is getting so big too. I am still baffled that we have a 6 year old! He is reading constantly now. Everytime he sees letters he has to read them! He does his homework with less help now (per his request). I still watch him like a hawk, but he wants to read the directions by himself and then figure out how to do it and then he will ask me if he is correct. He gets all of his school work done before lunch most of the time, so he gets free time at school.
He is making a lot of friends at school and loves going! He likes his teachers and I think he really enjoys riding the bus. He tells me everyday that he had a great day, but he missed dad, mom and Levi. He just started writing better also. His hand writing is also more legible that some grown adults!
I just wanted to update about our kiddos! They are both so intelligent and loving (most of the time)! ;)
God Bless
