Three Year Old "Stats"

Peyton had his three year old check up with Dr. Dentler today. He said he is doing GREAT! He is doing everything a three years old should be doing, then some. Here are his stats:

Weight: 43lbs. (99th percentile)
Height: 40inches tall (93rd percentile)

I worried about him being in the 99th percentile but after looking at my child, he is not overweight. If you see him in just his underwear you would think this kid has a great physique. He has such a cute little "bod." lol Very muscular. I attribute this to him running none stop from the time he wakes up till the time we can get him still enough to fall asleep.

Dr. Dentler also asked us if Peyton was going to day care or preschool. He told me something surprising... he said that old studies showed that kids who went to daycare, etc were far more advanced when they started school. But the most recent studies show that kids that stay at home with parents or grandparents are more advanced and better well behaved than kids that go to preschool/daycare. Made me feel really good since Peyton wont be going back to "school" this Fall. It was nice for him to have the socialization with other kids but just not logical for me to pack up all the kids (who most likely will not be awake yet) just so he can go play for 3-4 hours in the morning.

On the way home from Victoria after his appointment. This is his new and very silly smile. Ugh!
