All About Cami

Miss Cameron Nicole

Three Year Old Stats

36.4 lbs - 75th%

38.5 inches tall - 80th%

BP - 104/73  (very high, probably due to not wanting to be weighed!)

She is every bit of 3 years old right now.  Cami was in quite the mood for her check-up on Monday.  She refused to get on the scale.  After the 12th time, she stood just long enough for it to register.  She then decided a silent protest was in order, and refused to speak at all. She did let the doctor look in her ears and nose, listen to her heart and lungs, but opening her mouth was out of the question.  After 42 times of asking nicely, she got some help from a tongue depressor so that the doctor could see in her mouth.  Two words might best describe this kid - strong willed.  Very!  We left with a recommendation for me to read the book The Highly Spirited Child.

That being said, she is extremely bright.  She can spell her name, mom and dad.  She can count to 20 without missing a number.  She can correctly identify 17/26 uppercase letters.

  Who doesn't wear their tall black leather boots to gym?  Although I haven't read the book yet, I'm pretty sure it would say, "if your 3 year old wants to look like a goose and wear black boots with shorts to gym, let her!" so I did.

She and I had a day to ourselves this week, and it was just perfect.  We played at the gym, one of her favorite things to do, had PB&J for lunch at home, and then...

gathered up some bread to go feed the ducks at the park.  She loved it, and so did I. 

All of the little ducks were so hungry!  The geese, not so much.  

Although this kid definitely pushes my buttons at times, she loves fiercely and has such a zest for life.  I know that she will grow up to be a very loyal, loving, smart young lady.  We've just got to make it through the next few years first!
