So, to go along with turning 3, Devin his 3-year check-up with the doctor. He got to stand on a regular scale (weighing in at 30.6 lbs) and up against a regular tape measure thing on a wall (measuring in at 36.4 inches), got his blood pressure taken (something like 90/50), and had a vision test. He was such a big boy! I wondered how he would do with the vision test since he's still learning on communicating and didn't know all the signs on the paper he was looking at. But he did really well! So, he is in about the 30th percentile for both height and weight, so a little small, but for his height he is the perfect weight! When the doctor was checking his ears he totally quoted the Disney version of Robin Hood: "Hiss, stop hissing in my ear!" The doctor only understood ear but I got what he was saying and it was pretty awesome!
Also in conjunction with turning 3, Devin no longer gets home visits from a speech therapist. But he did qualify for pre-school so now he goes twice a week for 2.25 hours each day. He even gets to ride a school bus! His first day was kind of crazy b/c we didn't think he would be able to get transportation soon enough and suddenly, bus drivers calling, saying they were going to be picking him up and dropping him off at certain times, so it was kind of a dash to get everything ready. We didn't have a backpack for him yet, but I had one of the backpack style diaper bags from the hospital, so we just used that and it works well. Maybe for Christmas he can get a real backpack! Anyways! We told him he was going to be going on a bus and he kept saying he was gonna ride the choo-choo train. Close!
So, here he is, in front of his bus! What a big boy!
All buckled up and ready to go to school!
He wasn't scared or nervous or anything! He was so excited for his first bus ride and to go to school! He even waved bye to us!
Mackenzie, on the other hand, was a little nervous about the big yellow thing that took her brother away!
