Who said "Oh Boy, its the Terrible Twos!"? There is nothing terrible about being 2! Mommy and Daddy are enjoying you being "2" so much! We choose the battles we want to fight with you, but looking back, there really aren't many. Usually we can ask you "do you need to go sit in timeout?" and you will either stop what you are doing wrong or go sit yourself in timeout.

You tell us on a daily basis that you are 2. I just laugh and say "how old is Daddy?" You answer "old". I then ask "How old is Mommy?" Your answer is "new". I LOVE IT!

Your 2 yr check up went great at the doctor. You weigh 28.5 lbs and your head is still in the 93 percentile :-) Lots of brains in there! I think they measured you at 33 inches tall, but I think that might have been a little short as you wouldn't cooperate with standing and getting measured. (a battle not worth fighting)

Your language skills have flourished in the last couple of weeks. You come up with new words every day. Some we are still not sure what you say, but most we understand and you talk non-stop. You also love singing new songs that you learn in school.

You try very hard to talk with your paci in your mouth and we get a little frustrated and tell you "we can't understand you with that in your mouth" in which you either take it out and talk, or just give us a look and go about your business. You do so well at school without your paci but as soon as we get home, you beg for it. It rips mommy's heart to pieces, you even say "my paci, please" and I give it to you. One day, soon, we will say bye bye to the paci, just not yet.

You still love airplanes and get so excited when you hear one flying overhead. You yell "Mommy, daddy, airplane, fly, bye-bye airplane". You and Daddy have spent many afternoons at the airport's observation park watching the planes take off and land.

You love to jump! In fact you will find anything to jump from....a little scary for mommy!

You still like playing in your kitchen, playing with your trains, trucks and banging on things. You still love to read and mommy likes taking you to the library to check out new books. Toddler story time starts at the end of the month and we can't wait!

You enjoy watching Sesame Street and Little Bill. In fact, you ask for Little Bill every night at bedtime. You have mastered the iphone and play games and watch movies on there. Your favorite game is a car racing game...You are your daddy's child!

You have done great in your new 2-year old classroom. I was a little worried because the kids in there are so much bigger and were talking complete sentences. However, you can hang with the best of them! Your teachers say you follow directions well and are quite the observer. I have a feeling that will all change before you are out of that room...you will be the doer, not the watcher. You are starting to use the potty at school too! It won't be long before I know you will be ready for big boy underwear and goodbye diapers!

Your eating patterns are about the same....Everyday is something different. One day you may like chicken nuggets, the next day, not so much. It keeps mommy & daddy guessing what we are going to fix for dinner. Your favorite meal right now is peanut butter and jelly! Its not too bad for you, wheat bread, organic jelly. You did surprise us and now will eat salad with cucumbers. I think it is the dressing you like!

We celebrated Grandpa Currie and Daddy's birthday this month. You get so excited and love to sing "happy birthday"! You really like the cake part too! We went to eat Mexican for daddy's birthday. You got super excited when they came with the sombrero and sang...your daddy...not so much...so you got to wear the cool red hat!

The weather is getting cooler and you couldn't be happier than to play outside! mommy & daddy can't wait to take you on more bike rides, trips to the park and another trip to the zoo is in our future too!

We love you sweet boy! Keep making mommy & daddy smile!!
