Two years ago I had my little man! I knew it would be right around fourth of July, and I always thought how cool it would be that he would have fireworks for every birthday. He doesn't need it though, because that boy is a firecracker!
He's loud and explosive, but he takes my breath away and has a beautiful soul and energy. I'm in awe of him everyday. He's determined and driven. When he wants something, like to make a train work, how to work the iPad, or how to turn on the TV, there is no doubt he will make it happen. Sometimes it's to his detriment because he gets in trouble for having his hands into EVERYTHING! However, I know that his natural curiosity, determination and will, WILL take him far.
He does get frustrated though if he doesn't get something right away. He's picked up a back habit I didn't even know I had, of saying, "Come on!!" when something isn't loading fast enough. It cracks me up, but I try to remind him to be patient.
He still asks for naps, unlike any kid I've ever seen. He will go full throttle, and then when he's done, he's done. He wants his paci, his milk, his puppy and blanket and he wants to lay in bed.
He's already ridden the jetski with his dad like a pro. He had his short little legs strattling the jetski, and his arms reached out as far as they could to hold the handles. He's proudly exclaim "I ride the jestki!"
I had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party for him. When he woke up, balloons were in the hallway and he came running to play with them! When he saw his birthday decorations he excitedly yelled "Mickey Mouse!!" and "Pretty!" He sure knows how to make a mom feel good :)
He says so many things it would be impossible to capture all of his utterances, but here are some favorites he uses:
I play with iPad
I take a nap
I want a bagel
I make a train track
I go to the park
Help you (says it to mean help me)
I watch Mickey Mouse
I go swimming!!
Where's daddy?
I go with you
I love you too!
I take a bath
