It's still weird to me that we have a Preschooler! The past 3 years have just flown by, but I've loved every minute of it! Conner is doing great. So far age 3 has been quite a work out and we're not even a month into it yet..lol.. He's a mouthy little man these days. I miss my sweet, innocent, none verbal baby boy.. Haha. He still has his sweet moments on a rare occasion.
He had his 3 year appointment yesterday, the 14th. He is weighing in at 33 lbs and is 37 in tall. I always though he was tall, but I guess not.. Haha But he's doing great and healthy as can be. We are going to be referred to a surgeon because Conner's hernia he's had since birth is still there, so we're going to make sure it doesn't require any surgery. I really pray it doesn't.
Conner also lost his paci when he turned 3. I always vowed my children would not have them past 2, at the latest. When Conner turned 1 the paci became bed time only. It wasn't allowed to leave his crib, except for traveling. Well the night before Conner's 3rd Birthday was the last time he had a paci. It wasn't planned, but it just worked out that way. We took a trip to Ohio to surprise my Mom for her 50th Birthday, and we left on Conner's Birthday. That night he slept in bed with us and didn't ask for it so we just went with it. I had it on my carry on, because usually on the plane he asks for it, but he never did. Occasionally, usually at nap time, he'd bring it up but I'd just change the subject, or tell him they were taken to babies who needed them because he was a big boy. And since then he has been paci free. :) Went a lot better then I expected.
After we returned from our 10 day trip we got our 3 bedroom house on base. FINALLY. We are in it now, and still have some stuff to get done but Eric's been working really late so it's been kind of slow. Anyways.. We asked Conner if he wanted a big boy bed in his new room, or if he wanted to say in his crib (we never took him out of it because he never tried to get out, he loved his crib) and at first he didn't want a big boy bed, and the night before we moved he decided he wanted a big boy bed. The first night went a lot better then I expected. He got out once and said he didn't want to go night nights lol Then we put him back in bed, and he cried for a little bit but never got up again. Now you hear him get up, open and shut his door and then he usually goes to sleep.
It's amazing how much has changed over the last 3 years, but they've been a great 3 years and I can't wait to watch him grown and learn over the next year. We love you Bug!
