On Tuesday after her birthday, Eden went in for her 3-year checkup. Her stats ...
- 28 pounds (15-20% for weight)
- 34 and a half inches (5% for height)
She is also making new connections every day ...
- On the way to the doctor's office, Eden asked Ashley if the police car in front of them was for hurt people. When Ashley told her it was sometimes for hurt people but mainly for people who had done something bad and that ambulances were for hurt people, she responded, "That's what I thought it was."
- When they left the parking lot Eden said, "You can park [a car] and go to the park." She was quite pleased that she had used the same word two ways.
- When her babysitter Kim and E were talking about letters the other day, Kim said L was for lemon, and E responded, "Like lemonade that I get at Chick-fil-A."
- When she asked what day it was last week and we told her Friday, she said, "Oh, like my fried okra"
Some of her favorite things to do ...
- Play cd's on the player in her room. She especially likes to put them in, take them out, put them in, you get the picture. She knows that certain cds are off limits for bedtime - we have 4 "quiet" cds suitable for sleeping.
- Type letters on the computer. We'll open up a word document for her with a large font and she tells us the letters before she types them. She told us she could type Ms. T's name - it's a T.
- Play computer games - mainly ones on PBS Kids, but I have also found other alphabet games. She is quite good at spotting her letters (both lower and upper case) and distinguishing between letters.
- Play doctor, puppy dog, and cooking in her kitchen
- Read books and watch her videos or PBS Kids
- Dance and show her "moves". Her favorite is to put her head on the floor, stick one leg in the air, and then put up an arm and start waving it. Still not sure where she got that one from :) but she did it at school the other day to the great amusement of her teachers.
- Yell at the top of her lungs - we have to remind her that that is an outside voice at least once every three days.
