C had her 18 mo well check today. She had to get shots and I didn't realize she was getting them today. She handled it okay but has been fussy since and didn't nap well.  She weighed in as the same as her last appointment 3 months ago and 1 inch longer. Is it weird that she didn't gain any weight? I didn't think to ask the doctor specifically that question until after we had left the appointment.


G has been doing awesome with potty training. She has used the potty out in public now and she is officially in panties all day. She still has an accident anytime she has on pants so I bought her a few new dresses this weekend and we will just stick with dresses for awhile. So proud of my girl and I can't express the relief of having only 1 in diapers!!

Its normal for kids to grow in height, then weight, then height, then weight.

And fwiw, I don't think E has gained a single pound in the last 6 months, and he only put on 3 pounds in the 6 months before that. He has definitely grown in height though. At least 2 inches, as evidenced by the jeans I keep having to buy.

bk1- L didn’t change much for weight from 15 months to 18/19 months either. He did grow a little though. C hasn’t gained much weight in forever (he weighed 27-28 lbs at his 3 year appointment in Jan). I know he has grown in height but I don’t think his weight has changed much. L weighed 24 lbs at his 18 month appointment so it will be interesting to see if/when he passes C up (at least for weight...they are about 6” apart for height right now).

So glad to hear the potty training update for G!!! That’s awesome!

bk1 I don't think E has gained more than a couple pounds since he was like 18 months maybe. I'd have to look back and see but he's still only like 27 pounds. Doctor wasn't concerned knowing H was the same way. And yay G!

[bk1]

Thanks guys. G always stayed on the same curve. She gained every time so this is just a bit different for me.

Anyone else's kids hate daycare? E flipped out tonight and said he didn't want to go tomorrow. He's been fine all day, eating half the crackers we have in the house, plus most of his meals. There's no reason for him to stay home. He just never wants to go. I've asked him before why and he told me a couple certain kids are mean to him. Which is true. One of them is close in age to E so they've basically grown up together and he's always been a bit of a troublemaker. The other is a little older so I don't know him as well (can't remember if I mentioned it here but we saw his mom at the store and E told her he didn't like her son, lol). Anyways, I keep trying to focus on positive things and it's really better for everyone for him to go but I feel bad. Ugh.

estrellita- I’m sorry he doesn’t like daycare, that’s hard. DD didn’t like it when she first started but now she won’t leave. Like run (as fast as she can) away from dh or I and try to his in a play structure she thinks we can’t get into. Then she throws herself onto the ground the pouts. She flails until she is strapped in the car moving, every single day. 😳 it’s horrible! I hope E is able to feel more comfortable at daycare.

[estrellita]

awick14 He used to be like that. I'm not sure what changed but for the last few months it's been this way. I think as they've gotten older these kids have gotten more.. aggressive? Idk. They aren't even really mean sometimes but E just doesn't like them. Sometimes one of them will try to give him a hug or say hi in the morning and E doesn't want that (he's also not a morning person, takes after me, lol). I've had a few talks with him about being nice to other kids even if they aren't nice to him and to play with the kids that are nice. I hope he doesn't end up having a hard time with friends in school like I did

My E does that anytime he's been home for a few days, longer than a weekend. He never wants to go back but once he's the, he's fine and happy. Just like adults who don't want to go to work, even when we enjoy our jobs.

E had one kid in his old daycare who was mean to him, and we were thisclose to sitting down with the teacher and/or director, but then we moved. Not helpful, I know. Is this something that you've talked to his teacher about?


Re: hugs in the morning, if he doesnt want them, it is okay for him to say "I don't want a hug right now." Even preschool age children have a right to body autonomy and to refuse touch they don't want.

I haven't talked to the teachers just because I know most of it is just typical toddler/preschooler stuff and I'm not sure what else they can do. A recent time I came to pick him up, something had just happened and they were giving the other kids a time out and when we left the teacher asked them to apologize, so I know they know what's going on. If it gets worse though I'd have no issue talking to the teachers or director.

And yeah I tell him to just say no thank you if he doesn't want a hug or anything. The being nice thing was more about don't push/hit them back. I've never forced it and don't even give him hugs myself if he doesn't want one.

Thanks for asking! It went well. Just some blood work and reviewed family history. I got oddly emotional just sitting in the waiting room. I think everything sort of hit me that this was happening. I got the referral for an ultrasound so I’m going on Friday. I’m excited and also dreading it!

Yay for ultrasound!!! Update us afterwards!!!

[katespade]

melsamoony - When is your ultrasound today???

Just finished. Saw everything we were supposed to: embryonic sac and fetal sac. No fetal pole yet but from what I have read that is normal and the tech was happy with what we saw.

Good luck with yours tomorrow.
