Jaxson has had almost a month of PERFECT behavior. He was challenging us about a week before his birthday but since then, nothing! But great listening, doing exactly what we ask when we ask him...it's amazing! Not complaining, but we are a bit nervous for the day it may all change, ha! At his 3 year check up he answered all of the doctor's questions for me. Dr: Does he eat vegetables? J: Yep, I like carrots, cucumbers, broccoli..... and salad. I don't like onions or peppers. Dr.: Wow! You are a talker, aren't you? -- To me, That's very good, he has to distinguish what a vegetable is from the other food he eats, then distinguish between his likes versus dislikes. That's a complex question to answer for his age. (Proud mama!) Then she says: Do you like strawberries? J: Yes, they aren't vegetables though, that's a fruit.... and it's red. (Ha! What a monkey!) Then he preceded to tell her the other fruits he eats, and that he likes "black meat" which is the meat his daddy cooks on the grill, and he likes to drink milk but sometimes mommy makes him drink water, and he likes to run but sometimes we make him ride his bike :S, lol! He is quite the character. 3 year old stats were: weight-36 lbs. (86th%ile) height-38 inches (64th%ile). His BMI is at the 86th%ile which means he is in the high-risk category for being obese. :O Not what a mother wants to hear. So we are going to be more cautious about making sure he is getting exercise and cutting back on the junk we keep in the house. We feel like it is a healthy weight because he doesn't ever have juice or any drinks other than milk or water and we don't eat out that often. But we do know there are things we can improve and even though it seems rediculous, the improvements will help all of us and in the end the results after hearing this will benefit our whole family. :) Here is a pic with his likes and common phrases.
