3 yo yesterday must have said "I don't love/like you" "you're not my best friend anymore" like 10 times. My most egregious action was making him go pee when we got home cause he gets so obsessed with playing he'll just piss himself. I know he's three and doesn't mean it but god it still fucking sucks to hear. Dread the day he's older, understands what it means, and hurls it at me.
Your kid will be ready to get out of pull-ups when she is physically able to hold her pee that long. There is no use in forcing the issue.
Yesterday after school, my 4.5 yo ran up to mom and hugged her. He ran up to me and pushed me away. Then my 6.5 year old said mom still looks like a young adult, but dad has an old fat face. Fuckers are getting written out of the will already. Leaving it all to the cats.
Just a fun update on this. last week we went on a long walk with the balance bike and he was just cruising along as usual. So I made him give the pedal bike a try before we went inside. He has grown about an inch since the summer and I thought it may be easier. Sure enough he hops right on and pedals the whole walk by himself. He needs a little help with stopping but even now he's starting to figure out the brakes. So proud of that little guy. So I highly recommend going straight from balance bike to regular bike for your little ones. He never used training wheels and I know if we had put them on he would have been terrified to take them off. He's a naturally risk averse kid so this was a big step for him.
My 5yo, at the time, rode one of those razor scooters all the time and her bike with training wheels. One day I took her training wheels off and put her on the bike and she was off like she had done it for years. Was really surprising but the scooter definitely helped with her balance.
The best 3 adjectives I can use to describe my boy are curious, joyful, and fearless. These pics from this morning capture that. Earlier this week he started climbing onto the table to just sit and play, look at books, and watch tv. Now he discovered that he can empty his books out of the drawer and have his very own play perch.
My son has zero interest in his Razor scooter. probably never ridden it in his life. Always insisted on a bike his whole life. It's funny how kids are.
My 14 month old is on his second bout of pneumonia within 2-months. Let me tell you all, it’s wonderful.
Our 3 month old is rolling over all the time, but I think it's just because he's fucking huge. He's almost at 17.5 lbs and the wife is bugged that he's basically skipping 3-6 month clothes and moving onto 6-9 month already. Not sure if J.J. Watt was banging my wife, but it wouldn't surprise me at this point.
My kid is 24# at 14 months. Right at the 50% mark. He's got two kids in his daycare that is like 7 months and is 27#. Kids are fucking tanks
Yeah, he started daycare a couple weeks ago and his size didn't really hit me until I looked at the four other kids in there that were all like at least 3 months older than him and he was noticeably bigger than all of them. I kind of looked at him and was like..."You really are fucking big dude".
That's just like my boy. He just got past 18 months and we're having to get him into 3T for his fall clothes. I guess it's to be expected with me being 6' 4" and wife 5' 9" but I am not looking forward to my grocery budget when he becomes a teenager.
Baby boy at 15 months is at 33” and 30lbs. That puts him in the 97th % on both categories. So yes, my wife must have been slamming an NFLr on the side as well.
Just got back from our 2 month shots for our daughter. Around 50 percentile in length and weight, but her damn head is in the 85th percentile. Poor girl got her head from me. She is struggling hard to lift the damn thing too.
my son is still at 94% at 2 years old with his head size, it’s a fucking weapon a legit battering ram
Daughter was 98-99 percentile then it went literally off the chart, like the line was going straight up instead of curved. She had to get a MRI just to rule out any swelling/hydrocephalus which thankfully was fine. We had some OT and PTs look at her when she was 3 months old and they said that her head size was likely making it very hard for her to build up muscle mass since it was so heavy. I suspect this is why she's been behind on her fine and gross motor skills than many of her classmates at daycare, she's getting OT help once a week as a result.
My kids are absolutely tiny. My son turned four on 8/1 and weighs 29.2 pounds. He’s grown a lot in the last year but he is small. My daughter turned one on 7/1 and she is under 20 pounds. Neither barely register in the percentiles. They may be small but they certainly are great kids. Had some fun at the pumpkin patch yesterday. Spoiler
My son has got the giant head thing too. A week before his due date they had us go in for an ultrasound and he measured in the 100 percentile for head size. So they scheduled a C section and when they pulled him out a nurse exclaimed "that's the biggest head on a baby I've ever seen". Fortunately he was 99% height and 98% weight too so it was proportional but definitely not what parents want to hear in the delivery room.
My kids are little too. My son was born 5 lbs, 10 Oz and my daughter was at 4 lbs, 11 oz. We just have little kids. Though at 4 and 2, I believe they are the 50th percentile or so.
Holy shit, my 4 year old weighs 75 lbs. Although he is a monster compared to his classmates. He is all ass and legs.
Had our second child, a boy on 9/20. Our almost 3 year old daughter is so sweet to him and has been growing up big time in the last 2 weeks. Gave up her pacifier outside of nap and bed time (I walk up to her and ask her "What's our deal?" and she spits it out haha), and last 2 nights she has gone to bed by herself without one of us in the room. Hope this holds. Amazing how they almost will themselves into maturity
I’m 6’5” 250lbs and my wife is 5’8” 135lbs. Both my kids were 10lbs at birth and are like 30th percentile for everything now. Either they aren’t mine or are late bloomers.
Did you mistype his age or weight earlier? I found the CDC growth chart for boys from 2-20 and he is wayyyy off of it. https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set2/chart-03.pdf
Google tells me the average weight of an 11 year old is 78 lbs. I am dying at the thought of a 75 lb 4 year old.
I think I figured it out. 75 lbs at 4...all ass and legs...he's a centaur! Edit: all the clues are there
Frame of reference, this was around Easter and he was 67ish lbs then. His sister is 4 years older than him and about 10 lbs heavier. Full disclosure, he'll be 5 in January so he's alot closer to 5 than 4, but he's still huge.
Considering I used to work in non profit fundraising, I was asked to join the PTO and my boys elementary school. Tonight is my first meeting.
Absolute unit :p Just giving you a hard time I dont know what I weighed back around that age but I was always WAY bigger than all my classmates
