2 Year Well-Check

On January 27th, Pearce had his 2 year well-check with Dr. Sperling.  When I told him he was going to the doctor, he got so excited and immediately asked "Shot?"  But not in a worried type of way....in an excited way :)  I got Pearce looking all cute and off we went to the doctor.  When we got called back, and Pearce had to get weighed and measured.  First, he had to stand next to the wall and have the measuring thing come down to the top of his head...this is the first time he got his height taken this way.  My good little boy just stood there and let the nurse get the measurements.  She said most 2 year olds get scared and cry.  Then Pearce had to stand on the scale to get weighed.  I told him to stand on the scale and put his hands down by his side....he did it perfectly!  Then we went to the exam room to wait for Dr. Sperling.  When she came in, I told Pearce to say hi to Dr. Sperling and Pearce said "Hi dotor Perying."  Pearce was so good letting her look in his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.  She asked if he was saying more than 50 words...YES!  Was he able to put two words together....oh yes...full sentences now!  Does he take a nap for at least 1 hour...ummmm, try 3 hours!  She also said he is probably ready to go to a big boy bed.....ummmmm....don't think so.  I want Pearce to stay in his crib for probably another year if possible.  He's just such a good sleeper and I know he is safe in his crib.  So, he had a great check up and no shot...sorry Pearce!  When we left he said "Bye Bye Dotor!"
