Master Keegan did well at the doctor's today. He is very proportional for a toddler she said. Which means he is exactly the same percentile for height and weight. He's long and lean, like his dad not his mom (I'm 5'3"). Still only 28 pounds and 34 inches long. But like everyone else she commented on how big his hands are. We're all hoping he growns into them like a puppy. We talked about potty training and she said most boys aren't potty trained until they are 38 months. Also it is key that he feels in control. I had asked him this morning if he would like to poop in the potty and he firmly replied, "No." So that is what I am sticking with until he asks to go. No hurry, he's only 25 months old. And honestly I have never minded diapers. I dropped him at daycare just in time to join his class and walk to the park so that will definitely make him happy.
My girl scout cookies came today. From Virginia. My oldest niece is a brownie and my brother Bret is a skilled cookie pimp. This is not new for him. I was a brownie and girl scout and when ever we lived in the US I participated in the cookie sales. Since my dad was in the Army he couldn't sell them at work for me. So I did it the old fashioned way, by foot door to door. Bret went with me since he was five years older and when it came time to deliver them he loaded up our big red wagon and we covered the neighborhood again. I should have won that year but Jenny E. did because her dad owned his company and he sold them at work. But I'm not bitter. ;) My mom was the troop leader and all of the cookies came to our house before being picked up by the individual brownies. There were literally walls of cookies in every room. Ah memories...

Hey - Colin had his four month check-up today! He's also proportional for height(76%)/weight(72%)/head (73%). Little sucker (or should I say BIG sucker) is 16 1/2 pounds and about 26 inches long. (Which is great but also kind of sucks because now we have to go look for a convertible carseat. His current seat goes up to 20 pounds/26 inches). He took his shots pretty well - is playing happily with me at work. Also, yesterday found him at daycare on a Jumperoo - it was like baby crack - he was so excited! So, guess what we bought last night for home? Anyway - what about the ears? Does it look like the tubes will pop out soon? We're going to Chicago this weekend and we're taking the little guy swimming at the pool!
Forgot to add - yay for the doctor for not pushing the potty training! My brother William didn't start using the potty until he was exactly 3 years old (and I remember him saying he would start using the "big boy potty" when he turned 3.) So, it sounds like a good plan to wait until he's ready. Also, yum on the girl scout cookies! What kind(s) did you get? Thin mints? Peanut butter patties? The cookie formerly known as the "Samoan" (now known as caramel delight, I believe)?
Oh, memories of girl scout cookies. I would sell a ton, but the way we did it was that we didn't collect the money until after we delivered. I would never get around to delivering them, and my family would eat all of them before I could, so my mom just ended up buying all of them. :) Every single box. She was a leader too. Hey, at least the other girls got theirs.
Yay for Keegan! Good for you for supporting him.
