I can't pretend I remember precisely who Leo was at two because it's been four months since then and I'm writing this in September, so whatever...he's still two! The pics are from May. The description is from September.
I can't stop the full gamut of feels for this kid. They go all day every day. He is the happiest kid. He wakes up happy and he skips naps happy. He jumps, gallops, runs, hugs, cuddles, kisses and dances...all happy. He goes to nursery happy...like any nursery, even out of town. He sleeps in pack and plays happy. He can be happy when he is hungry. He is stronger than Benadryl, and yes...he did have some on a road trip this summer and no, it did not do its job. He is all jabbery thinking he can say everything and be understood and boy do I want to understand him. He says so many things...there is no way to list them all...phrases five words long. He uses pronouns and adjectives and he tells me he loves me. Gah. I just love a two year old boy!
This might be my fave pic ever.
He looks like Chris, right?
He has lots of pink things to wear...
He loves a cuddle if he is hurt...this is on the master bathroom floor...Ruby's so happy he chose her.
This expression is a serious score for me to have caught. It is his, "You are dead to me, why are you still talking to me, I can't hear you at all" expression.
He loves watching Ruby "ooohhh aahhhhh" ride horses. He calls them neigh. And he makes a throat clearing noise for their sounds.
He got stuck in the bathroom and wanted out but never cried or got mad. He just waited. It was at least a half hour of stuck before my friend Mercedes with Go Gadget skinny hands was able to move the drawer that was out that he is standing on so that it wasn't blocking the door. IT was amazing. I don't know how she did it.
Jumping to Sissy.
He developed a pre-birthday love for Thomas the Train. He doesn't care he is called Thomas. He calls all trains "Choo choo twain." He also has the same exaggerated lisp as Betsey so his choo choo has more tongue up in there.
We just adore this kid!
