E - Hi Docto Wosen (Dr. Rosen)
Dr; Hi Erik, How are you?
E - Super Job!
She turns to me and says "Oh he's so cute and such a vocabulary at his age!" and then she says "Any concerns?"
REALLY??????? This is why Doctor's have a bad rap....she's had COUNTLESS conversations and e-mails with me about his walking and she turns to me and says any concerns? I wanted to flick her in the forehead with a big DUH and say...HE ISN'T WALKING AND HE'S 2!!!!!!!! I'M CONCERNED!! She even acted surprised when I reminded her about the non-walking thing. Seriously Doctors, I know you have a lot of patients, but come on, remember the big things!
She took a long look at his legs, ran an MRI and pronounced him "perfect" and than he "just doesn't feel like walking yet". I insisted on a PT consult. Luckily I got it. Funny thing, the Dr. that I pay 30.00 to each time I see could really care less if he's walking or not. But Early Start here in San Jose, a non-profit FREE service for children under 36 months had 15 pages of paperwork waiting for me withing a couple hours of my initial phone call to them and they are already working things up for an environmental observation. I think I know who'd I rather work with.
In all other aspects beyond his gross motor skills he's well advanced, he can draw a circle, a line, recognize all the letters of the alphabet and numbers to 20. He knows all his colors and told the Dr his favorite was "cacamarine" (Aquamarine). He's a funny little guy, I asked him tonight when I was putting him to bed if he was my little baby and he said "Nope, I'm just a little pirate". No idea where he gets this stuff.
He's also crazy 2 years old, he wears his emotions on his arms and can go from screaming tantrum throwing fit to loving kisses in a matter of seconds, as all toddler's do.
He's up to 33 pounds and 35 inches in height. 93rd percentile. Whew! Seriously I can't carry this kid anymore.
