I am worried about his TUDE! lol I know its all toddlers, but I feel like his is intensified. There is NO budging with him. NONE. He wants what he wants, when he wants, how he wants it. It is driving me bananas. I know toddlers are like this, and maybe I feel like it's worse because its actually my own kid, but I do not remember my nephews being this demanding! I know I am a total pushover, but this kid will NOT give up on something he wants. GRRRR
For Dane? Honestly developmental wise I have no concerns.
His leg fixed itself! He's shot up in speech, everything else that he gets picky about or not is just within his range of normal. He's doing great in my opinion.
I'm concerned about this cold he has and it being passed onto others thats about it though.

Hmm, well you pretty much just summed it up right there, haha!
My main concern right now is Bella's weight. I know she is healthy and I am ok with her being a small child but I want to know that they have checked to make sure nothing else is causing her to not gain weight. She is still sitting at 20.6lbs.
Real one - that he'll be sick all winter like he was last year. He's already been very sick this week.
Silly one - he completely, 100%, without a doubt, understands all things "potty", but he says underwear is for big boys, diapers are for babies, and he's neither. He's just Daniel. Diapers are for Daniels, too, and he wants to stay like a baby. Why?!?! Punk. (Not that I mind having a baby around for a while longer. It's my last chance. ) Sometimes I think he's just lazy. He has that sort of attitude. He'll be 12 years old wearing a diaper because he's too cool for underwear.
This is weird but I am worried about if he's anemic. He craves ice all day and begs for it and likes to lick dirt BLECK! Both are signs of anemia. I hate the idea of the finger prick though so part of me wants to just give him a supplement and see what happens. And when I say craves--I don't mean he just enjoys it--he BEGS for ice
speech (although its getting much better this month.. i can hear new sounds and he's trying to copy us now... yay!)
and eating issues still. I get to see a new specialist next month if I want to (its covered by DH's insurance) and they will completely assess him with testing and possible allergies and make him a daily plan. So I'm still debating that. I know it would be good, but since he's gaining or stable (he's not losing at least) with Pediasure and some fats (8% yogurt, pasta, baby fruit dessert jars, etc) then I dont want them to be like: why are you here??
i am concerned at her frustration level and that she has self injurous (sp?) behaviors...she will bang her head on the floor, pull her own hair and bite herself when she is really upset.
i am not concerned about her eating but i wish she would eat better...and stop asking for candy and donuts all the time! (as of halloween, thats all she wants).
I'm worried that her eye is getting worse, she won't give up the pacifier and although I'm in no hurry now, I'm worried that she won't potty train easily.
I worry about Aide's height. I know I'm a shorty and Ryan is only 5'7, but last time Aide was at the doctor he was only 6 percent for height. I know its harder for boys to be short and I just worry he will be made fun of.
I also worry that he is going to be a kindergartner who still has to have a bottle at night.

I am slightly concerned about stuttering/speech issues. My sister spoke really early and then lost some of it and had to start speech therapy because she started to stutter and gained a lisp. And Aliana has started getting stuck on words which concerns me.. I know her brain is going faster than her mouth can keep up with.. but still is a slight worry of mine.

Wow! Must be the birthday Aliana has already been sick a few times this year and I am not liking the way this season has started!
And potty training... she totally knows everything.. She tells me immediately to change her diaper when she is wet or poops. She stays dry for hours at a time (she went from 11 am to 4:30 pm without having a wet diaper the other day and then soaked the diaper!) I think she KNOWS it's easier to stay in a diaper. She told me the other day "thank you for cleaning my poop, mommy!" SERIOUSLY!
