Today you are 2. You are your favorite number. When asked “how many” of something your answer is always ‘two.”
The past two years have flown before my eyes. I want to just bottle you up right now and keep you this way. I love all the funny, cute and innocent things you do. I love the way you carry around that little blue blanket and call it your “baby.” Baby goes everywhere with us and needs a good washing about every other day. Baby gets dragged all over the floor of most of the major stores here in Prescott.
I love how you are starting to put words together now, to make up sentences. I know sometimes Tyler gets on your case and says, “Dylan that is not a complete sentence.” Don’t worry about it D, Mommy can understand you.
You are Mr. Big Stuff now and no longer want to sit in a stroller nor eat out of your highchair. Both will most likely be on Craigslist soon.
You’d rather follow me around a store yelling “Mommy help.” Which I know means “Mommy slow down, you are walking too fast.”
You want to sit at the table now and eat with the rest of us. Thank goodness you will actually sit on the booster seat I just bought you today. It was getting a little tough for you to eat your cereal in the morning when the bowl was up to your forehead.
You are obsessed with Elmo, police cars, monster trucks and fire trucks right now.
You love that song on the radio called “Pumped Up Kicks.” You request it daily from the backseat.
You are starting to learn your colors but for the most part everything is usually “blue.”
You also like to say that just about every animal when asked what they eat, “eat grapes.” When asked how they eat the grapes it’s always “in a bowl.” Typically said with a southern drawl.
You are starting to become interested in the potty but I know not to push it. You will sit on it every now and then and lately you have been requesting the dvd called Potty Power.
We are still currently battling Bubba (your pacifier) with you. Right now you only need it when you are tired. We are trying really hard to just let you have it in the crib for naps and nighttime. You still sleep very well at night from 7:30 pm to 7:00 am and you nap in the middle of the day for about 2 hours. I am so very grateful for this sleep pattern. And that is one of the main reasons why Mommy is not wanting to take it away!
You worship your older brother. You follow him around everywhere and try and do everything he does. I know this annoys him sometimes but he’s a wonderful big brother and will try and include you the majority of the time. Already I can see the special bond the both of you have and I know he will always look out for you.
So Little D here’s to you...Happy 2nd Birthday!
