a letter


Myer-

22 months today!  So if the math works out, that means in 2 months you'll be 2.  Wow-zer.  I'm having a hard time imagining us with a 2 year old.  But every day you seem more grown up so I guess I'll let you turn 2...Here are some of the things you are doing or saying lately that make my day daily:

-You like to count.  But not in order, "fife, two, sick."
-Every thing is put into rows--cars, fridge magnets, my stuff under the bathroom sink, etc.
-It started out as "pease?"  Then moved to "pease? tay." Then to "pea-tay." And now it's "otay otay otay".
-In each room you have to turn on and off the lights.  Doesn't matter where we are.
-You are switching from a sippy cup to a cup and doing so well.
-When you get ornery we know you need a good wrestle.  And that's every night before bed.
-You love nursery.
-Things you are saying: "tome on", "I need", "scarreee", "a gin?",  "woah", "tank you much", "get me!"
-Things you are signing: PLEASE, SORRY, SOCKS, GAME, HELP, THIRSTY, THANK YOU, TOAST, BREAD, BIKE, READ BOOK, and SLEEP.
-You like to "dip" your food in anything.  Even in water.
-You are starting to recognize the alphabet letters especially A,B, and C.
-When you really like something you scream, "yaay is so funnn!" while clapping your hands.
-You have to walk everywhere. It's impossible to carry you.
-You finally like your shape tool set that we got you last Christmas.  You treat it as a speed game and you whip through it so fast putting the shapes in the right holes.
-Cereal after every meal.  Just like your father.
-You call your dad, "Jake".  Whoops.
-Favorite songs are "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes", "We are a Happy Family", and "Chica-Chica-Boom-Boom".
-You love your family and you like to list off their names when we're driving in the car.  Even your great grandparents

We have definitely reached over the baby line and into the toddler stage.  Gosh, in 2 more months we will be writing a milestone of a letter.  You are a real bright spot in our lives.  Always happy, adventurous, silly, busy, but sensitive, pensive, specific, and intent.  You are the best thing that's happened to us and we are complete.  I love you little boy of mine.

-Mom
