- Is learning new words every single day, and he's starting to put a couple of words together.
- Sleeps well at night and *usually* takes a 2-3 hour nap. It's lovely to have a child that still naps at 2. Hopefully we can keep it going for a while yet.
- Started potty training a little bit and he's doing great, but not quite ready to give up diapers, which is totally fine with me. I'm really happy with the progress he's already made.
- Makes a ridiculously loud squealing noise when he's mad and it makes everyone cringe.
- Loves to give people hugs and kisses.
- Is very good at jumping, climbing, and balancing. When he runs it's more like he's skipping, and his tongue is almost always hanging out when he does it. It's hilarious!
- Loves to play with balls, trucks, cars, and trains, and anything with water, dirt, or sand (or all three).
- Is pretty much always dirty. Whether it's food, dirt, or some other substance ;), he is always dirty.
- Can count to three, and say a lot of the alphabet, but not in order!
- Has really started with the tantrums, but luckily for me they're usually very short-lived. He's really good when I reason with him and often seems to understand when I tell him it's not okay to scream at Mommy. (Or Daddy, or Lowes, or the cat, or the toy, etc.) But his favorite word is still "NO!!!"
- Knows the colors blue, yellow, and green, and gets REALLY excited about anything yellow.
This kid cracks us all up and it's so awesome to have him in our family!
I made him a train cake!! It was a pain, but it turned out okay. I never feel like I'm very good at making cakes, but that's alright ;) If you've ever tried it's REALLY hard to frost cut sides of a cake...unless you do it right, which apparently I did not...but I managed I guess. It was just a lot harder than I think it could have been.
Looks like a fun birthday - nice cake!! Happy Birthday Ben!!!
