Two Year Olds

NEVER leave your two year old alone in the bath tub. This I discovered recently when I returned after a few minutes away from Ezra. He had filled th tub with this potty-training cheerios (for aiming at) and was eating them. Gross!!

SNUGGLES are the best when the Oedipus complex is alive and well in your young son. Ezra "needed" some snuggles to get to sleep yesterday and this is how he wanted them. He layed on his back with his arm out. My head was to go kind of on his chest (without crushing him!!) and my arm was to reach over his body and hold his hand. I love this kid.

LAUGHTER apparently can get one out of any situation. Especially when mommy's a pushover.

CHICKEN DINOS are a complete meal any time of day. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner would be wonderful if they included chicken Dinosaurs, String Cheese (cut up) and "Fruity" Snacks. What food groups do these fall under??

CHRISTMAS is not over until your two year old says so. The tree is still up and the lights are still on. Shall we begin a count-down???

Happy New Year!

Cheerio, Mate!

Hooray for Oliver! He's finally eating real food! Here are his first attempts and successes at eating a really solid food - Cheerios - and oh how happy he is! It's as if he's been waiting the whole of his six and one half months to finally get his own little mitts on something substantial. He shovels them in with his little rake fists ten at a time and chew, chew, cheeeews them up (with his TWO mini puppy teeth!) Proud boy! Proud Momma! What a relief! "Oh, yes? For me? Why, Thank you!"
"If I use two hands . . . I can get more in!! ALRIGHT!""Look, Mom! No hands!"
"Hooray for me!" (oh yeah, and he got some green beans too! Does it get any better than this??)
