W is in the midst of being two. 28 months. He's independant and still sticks close to his parents when necessary, he's sweet, loving and huggy and two minutes later shyness, sullenness & a refusal to say hello may occur....you just never know. I've decided that this 2 business is just a dress rehearsal for the teen years. They're the same, just different sized bodies. As frustrating as it can be to live with a toddler, it's fun and heartwarming just too.
He makes us laugh. He's quite vocal and the things he finds interesting to talk about are surprising at times....like nose picking, nakedness and today at "diaper time" he was telling me about particular parts of the anatomy that he, his brother and father share. Apparently I do too! I thought these discussions would start a year from now? Wrong again.
W loves to sing, dance and act out scenarios from TV. He imitates Lord Farquad from Shrek, and the dance of the butterfly, ladybug, beetlebug and grasshopper from a Baby Einstein DVD. It's too cute and often causes a laugh from B & me even though we've seen this drama presentation a time or two.
Lately, his favorite songs at bedtime are "Silent-Good-Night", "Manger" and "Toys". Is there a better way to end the day than snuggled with your child in a comfortable chair, with a cozy blanket, singing Christmas carols? I think not. "Silent good-night, holy good-night...."
He's such a good singer! And dancer =)
ReplyDeleteTalented and creative. Looks like he's good with food too.
