Max has grown more and he talks much more quickly. He is three now and seems to have grown into a little boy.
Becky tells us lunch is ready and max will not eat his pasta and starts screaming
“I don’t like sauce” Becky tells him not to be silly and tells him to eat 3 pieces.
Max can use a knife and fork which according to Brennand is on cue with development. He preferred not to with the pasta.
Max now comes out with random speeches like this time he just said Luca and uncle martin have a cold. He talks a lot more clearly and replies with full sentences whereas a few weeks ago he could talk but mumbled and just said yes and no rather than full sentences.
After hide and seek me say to max let’s play hide and seek and he says “yes I like hide and seek” Max goes upstairs to hide. He still walks up the stairs two feet to a step, which according to Brennand is normal.
Max is potty trained now and never or rarely has accidents. He is very conscious and closes the door when he goes to the toilet. He also flushes the toilet and washes his hands without prompting which is very good.
We go into the garden and max insists on showing me his new swing, which is “big boy swing” that he sits on and swings. He also shows me the apple tree and the vegetable patch, and tells me “its daddy’s”.
Max is quite egocentric and likes to get his own way. He throws quite big tantrums especially if his brother takes on of his toys. He says “its Mine” and starts crying or gets annoyed. According to Brennand, this is normal in a three year old as they are still quite egocentric.
Max saw my phone and he said “can I look” so I said shall I take a photo and he said “yeah”. I took a photo of him and said “who is it Max?” and he said “look its Maxie” this is his nickname for himself as he always refers to himself in third person when he looks at pictures.
Max is still quite shy but he talks more than he used to and says more than one word at a time. In conclusion, to this visit, Max can do everything I asked him too and is quite advanced for a three year old.
