dear gage,
today you turned two. two. two? how is that possible? today it seems that you understand what year you are going in to and wanted to live up to "terrible twos" oh dear child, you made me tired today. i often say it, right now you are equal parts JOY and equal parts CHAOS. this morning the whining, crying, disobedience nearly set me over the edge but then you came hoping into the bathroom while i was getting ready saying "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit" i smiled at you and you said "froggie" with a great big smile. and thats exactly how life happens everyday, you melt me.
you climb, jump, dig, run harder than any other two year old i know. you are constantly going fast. or your in your own little world, like at the grocery store, it takes you 10 minutes to get down an isle b/c you stop and look at every item asking "home?" like, "do we have this at home?" or "do we need to take this home?" you talk, talk, talk. one of my all time favorites right now is watching you as your little mind processes putting words together while your telling us something. i hope to never forget that.
you love, adore, look up to lane. you love him like nothing else, its so sweet. you want to do everything like him. you often study the way he's standing, sitting, laying and do your best to do exactly what he's doing. you guys will giggle and giggle for hours if i let you in your bedroom, you think he's just to silliest. and with all that big brother love, you also know how to push his buttons. you know exactly what irritates him.
you have the best giggle. people always say that. its contagious. and you are funny. so funny. you think your funny, which makes you even funnier. one of your favorite things to do lately is pretend everything is a hat just for us to give you a response. (you put spaghetti, jello, books, on your head and say "hat?") you LOVE people. always giving kisses & hugs. you want to hold & burp logan. you want to call daddy and papa every minute of the day, it is SO cute!
we love the joy you've brought to our family and we love the way God made you. you are so special, i tell you every morning. you are fun, funny, and full of joy. i pray that spunk always stays. you are you and we love YOU! i want to bottle up this age...i can't get enough of you.
love you gagers!
mama.
about you at two...
...you have the biggest sweet tooth. you take after me, sorry about that buddy.
...you sleep with doggie, puppy, and red bear
...you will still take a good nap if you aren't too busy messing around with your brother. if we're in the car anytime after 12 noon you fall asleep instantly
...you are SO good at picking up toys
...you want to do everything on your own, "my do it" (getting into your car seat, highchair, putting your shoes on, getting into your bed, etc)
...you go potty of the toilet everyday
...you don't really like tv besides boz the bear or thomas
...your feet are the stinkiest feet in the house
...your eyelashes are the longest of anyone i've seen
...your favorite song is "party rock." you can't help yourself.
...you are very, very cuddly after nap time. we normally rock for a good 5 minutes.
...you are very aware of someone's ouchies, often kissing our boo boos.
...you say "welcome" instead of "thank you" someday you'll get those straight.
...you light up a room.
