Fun at a Museum

Last weekend, Michele took Jake to the Hands-On Museum in Ann Arbor. They met up with Melissa, Steve, and Jack. Michele said that Jake had a lot of fun, and can't wait to go back. Hopefully, next time, I won't have to work and will get to join them. You can see the pictures here.

Jake had his three-year check-up today. He was so excited for his "big boy check-up". It made his day when he got to pee in a cup. Of course, a little while later he had to poop and said he wanted to go in a bucket! The doctor confirmed that he's doing well health-wise and was happy that she hasn't seen him since the fall! He's now 35 3/4 inches tall, and weights 28.6 pounds.

The doctor also confirmed that while the two's might be terrible, the three's are horrible! She nailed some of the responses we've already begun seeing, like the fact that any decision we give him seems to result in a melt-down. Apparently, at two, they just say what they want. At four, they know what they want. At three, they just say whatever, and then decide they want the other, or the first, or both, or none, and completely lose it!

On that note, Jake got his "big boy bed" converted back to a crib tonight when he decided that he didn't need to sleep, and kept getting up and pounding on his door. So, after he screamed for an hour that he needed to go potty, needed water, need to get out, and eventually resorted to just saying "no no no" over and over, Michele broke down and took him into our bed. Good times!

Switching topics, someone from Michele's school passed along some photos from the staff meeting when she was awarded with the teacher of the year award. You can see those photos here.
