JT celebrated his second birthday this past Friday. He had been feeling under the weather the entire week before and we were more than pleased when he woke up with a smile on for his big day. He felt extra special as he opened his gifts before most of his fan club trotted off to school and work. He had lots of fun playing with his new "stuff" all the day long. He loves playing with his new drill, talking on the cell phone Grandpa & Grandma B gave him, and playing with his cars and folding them into his car caddy.
A few weeks ago JT retired his crib and has been sleeping in a "big boy" bed. He has done fairly well, but we are still getting used to his random roaming around in the middle of the night without a cry of warning. Last night he walked into our bedroom with a piece of paper, a puzzle piece, and a magnet. He only starts to scream when we try to have him lay down by us and go back to sleep. He’ll figure it out (soon I hope)!
He is quite a great communicator. He continues to try to explain himself using sentances, always referring to himself as JT. He has a contagious laugh and smile. He really likes to play with cars and tools (as mentioned above), that is when he isn’t playing in the spice cupboard of the kitchen, trashing Stephen’s office, or throwing marshmallows into the toilet. 🙂 Stephen and I both love to watch him try and suppress his smile when he is mad and we are trying to make him happy. He is always up for an adventure and is often heard exclaiming, "I wanna come!" He also loves to hear the garage door open – a sign that the fan club has returned.
We are so grateful that this little guy is a part of our family.
