Stats
At his two year old appointment on June 13, Owen was 29 pounds and 37 inches. He is a busy, happy guy.
*Motor skills-kicks, throws, catches, walks up and downstairs,blows bubbles in water
*Language- when you explain something, he often says "that's why." Last week the garbage bag left some liquid on the floor and he said "It's leaking." He often says "My ___ hurts." to describe a body part that's bothering him. He has said nearly all the body parts in this context!
*Cognitive development-What he knows: counts to ten (except 4), the names of letters in his name, how to make an O, most colors (yellow, orange, green, blue, pink-he mixes up black with white and vice versa)
*Potty training (exploration stage)- he has earned 28 stickers on his potty chart and uses pull-ups in place of diapers. He often sits on the potty after meals or first thing in the morning/last thing at night. Next week we are thinking of trying the two day potty training.
*As a big brother-loves to run in and say good morning, when she cries, he says "It's Ok." Once Laney was frightened of the vaccuum cleaner so when it's time to vaccuum he runs over to her and says "Don't hear it, Laney. Don't hear it." When others come near her, he runs to her side and says "That my baby."
Owen enjoys music, yoga, bathtime, and playing garbage trucks. He loves to watch garbage truck movies on youtube and never misses watching the truck come to pick up his garbage on Friday mornings. "Garbage truck pick up my garbage, momma."
He likes a variety of toys including his bike, balls,trucks, instruments (ukelele, piano) and new baby doll.
what he loves: garbage and garbage trucks, getting the mail, keys, cords, tools, fixing things, cooking
He sometimes takes a 90-120 minute nap either around noon or 4 pm but other days goes without naps.
He is a great eater and still loves fruit in any form. He also loves broccoli, eats green beans and peas, carrots and will try almost anything at least once. If it's a no-go, he will simply say, "I don't like it."
Owen we love you at two!
