Two Years, Four Months and Turtles

The boys went to their 2 year/4 month well check ups last week. Grant is as big as ever. He has been wearing 3T clothes for a few months now, so I knew he was on the big side. But this is ridiculous.
Height: 37 3/4 inches (99%ile)
Weight: 33 lbs 3 oz (95%ile)
Head: 19 inches (37%)
Grayson continued to be on the small side. I don't mind much what my boys grow up to look like, but it would be nice if they were close in size (whatever that may be). I still think Grayson is going to surprise us and be bigger than his numbers are indicating. We'll see.
Height: 25 1/4 inches (49%ile)
Weight: 13 lbs 3 oz (10%ile)
Head: 15 1/2 inches (1%ile)
In turtle watching news, we went to MOMS Club again this year to a mommy and me class on turtles. Grant loved it! We started with a nature walk and he did such a great job. He loved pointing out all the plants and animals.
"Look, mom! An alligator!" Grant was telling the teacher about the frog he saw.
And, of course, he has to give the frog a kiss.
Grant, at times, can be on the difficult side. He is determined and persistent, but in the right setting those are great qualities. One of the things I have noticed about him is that he is a great leader. He was in the front of the group the entire time. He was the first to play in the sand, the first to approach the water and the first to head off to our next destination. We'll just call him President Scogin.
Keeping an eye out for another alligator...
... there it is!
Burying the 'turtle eggs.'
Learning about turtles, or his shoes. It's a toss up. We love this field trip and will do it everytime it's offered! What a great concept!
