At his 3-year check-up, Oli measured 38.5 inches (70th percentile) and weighed 34 lbs with clothes on (also 70th percentile), which makes him 50th percentile in height to weight ratio. Tall-ish but just right. They tested his vision (20/20) and his hearing (the doctor was surprised he cooperated, since most kids his age won't cooperate), which is also fine. He's meeting all the milestones the doctor asked about, so all is good. Let's see what happens in a couple of weeks when we take him to the dentist for his first dental check-up.
Oli-isms at 3 years old:
- Makes silly faces when we try to take his picture. We think he learned this from Joaquin.
- Constantly negotiates with us, "We'll read one more book before breakfast, OK?" This he learned from us.
- Sing-songy passive-aggressive tone (in Spanish): "That's my watermelon. Don't eat it." We don't know where this came from.
- Hated floss because he found the minty flavor "spicy", but now that we got the flossing picks, he wants to floss multiple times a day.
- Went through a Gloria phase, but has gone back to Coco as his main companion. Has conversations and arguments with them (and Coco's parents too) in which he makes all their voices. He gives Gloria timeouts when she misbehaves.
- Pretends he is pregnant by stuffing Coco under his shirt and then telling us that his baby will be born in 8 minutes.
- His favorite dinosaur is the triceratops and he figured this out: unceratops (1-horned), duceratops (2-horned), triceratops (3-horned), quatroceratops (4-horned), pentaceratops (5-horned). Only the 3 and 5-horned ones actually existed.
- Likes comic books. Yep, like father like son.
