We finally converted DanDan's crib to a toddler bed last Sunday. He's been doing great, so proud of his new bed. He actually hasn't climbed out of it yet, but since he turned 2.5 years old yesterday, I figured it's time for the change. He did amazingly well! His first nap on Sunday took a little longer for him to fall asleep. I did notice he got out of bed to get a toy car, but he went straight back to bed. Other than that, he did not get out of his bed at all. What a relief! I was prepared to get up in the middle of the night because he would be either crying, playing, or coming out of his room. Let's hope this will continue to be a smooth transition.
Dan Dan had his well-baby (boy) check-up yesterday. He's 32lbs and 36 inches tall. Pretty good numbers. He really has a good memory now. I think he remembered going to the doctor's and resisted to go, even the entrance of the building. He must have remembered the poking and scary equipments. He first resisted going in, then wanted to go straight to press the buttons of the elevator without letting me checking him in at the receptionist first. Since I was the only one there and Hank had to work, it was quite a struggle. He was fine once we got up as there were toys for him to play with. He had his first taste of a play kitchen, opening and closing the microwave and stove doors. When his name was called, he again resisted going in and started crying and wanting me to carry him when the doctor arrived. The doctor was so nice but I bet he remember all doctor's visits usually ended in the injection room. He didn't have any vaccination this time, but did have to take a TB test. Of course, he cried again, but only for a few seconds. He happily picked out his 2nd sticker of the day afterwards, and happily played with the play kitchen afterwards.
Hopefully, he doesn't have to see any doctor for the next 12 months until his next well-baby checkup.
