“ A two year old is like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it!” – Jerry Seinfield

You have accomplished so much in two short years it is amazing to us!  Below are 24 things, experiences, or milestones that happened all before you turned 2!

*You tell us “I love you”. Especially when you are put into bed at night we will tell you I love you and you will want to say it to us 5 more times as we leave the room and are into the hall. We always answer your sweet “I love you” with an ‘I love you too!” (Even if it is the fifth time!)

*You are so observant and remember everything! For example, you always remember places that we have gone after only one time of being there.

*You love your “fishies” aquarium that is on your bed. It plays music and you need it to go to sleep at night. When the batteries run out, watch out!! Mommy and Daddy better have more batteries handy!

*You are such a good boy. You are very easy-going and rarely ever get upset. You have excellent behavior when we are out in public and even at home.

*You give the best group hugs. When daddy comes home from work you always want to have a group hug with everyone.

*You never forget to pray before mealtime. You always hold out your hands to both of us to take and after we say the prayer you say “Tank you Gigi” (Thank you Jesus!) It melts our heart to no end!

*You like to help pick out what you are going to wear in the morning. Although it is usually “turtle shirt” you still give your opinion.

*You love to sing songs! Your favorites are “The Wheels on the Bus”, “BINGO” and “Elmo’s World”.

*You are getting ready to start potty training by letting us know that you are dirty or wet.

*You can count to 5 without any help and also recognize all the 1-5 numbers.

*You help to feed Abbe every day by getting out her food and putting it into her bowl.

*You are now sleeping in your big boy bed with no problems. You even get into bed every night without any complaining and you never get up. (You are a dream to put to bed!)

*You love to help mommy every day. You love to put trash in the trash can, help throw away the diapers, put the laundry into the washing machine and the clothes into the dryer.

*You are a great eater. If we ask you to “try it once” you will…even if you don’t like it. You also like to “dip-dip” everything in ketchup!

*You love to jump…..off the deck, into pillows, on the bed, and while dancing to a songs.

*You like to help mommy put on makeup every morning. You come into the bathroom and point to the mascara and say “eye” and point to the lipstick and point to mommy’s lips. But most of all you like to sit on my lap and play with the handheld mirror and look at yourself.

*One of your favorite sayings is “Oh no!” You will say “Oh no shoes” if you can’t find your shoes or “oh no mommy” if I am hidden under a blanket.

*You know all of your main colors, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, white and black.

*You love to play with daddy in the backyard. You think he is way funnier than mommy!

*You like to take off all your clothes and dance in front of the mirror in just your diaper. But you get embarrassed if anyone is watching.

*One of your favorite games is “pretend eat”. We have to sit with you under the slide in the backyard at the picnic table and “eat”. When we ask you what we are eating you always say “apple pizza”!

*You can spell your entire name! It is so cute…G-R-A-N-T!

*You make us smile and laugh every single day and are completed amazed at all the new things you learning. We look forward to many, many more memories with you, our sweet precious boy!
