I'm 23 months old!!

March 20, 2008

What a little man Mr. Hayden is turning out to be.
(Please excuse the bed-head.)
We have our challenges some days,
but most days are pretty amazing
with this little guy.

I'm amazed that I can now have a
conversation with my son.
I can ask him a question and he'll either
respond with "sounds good" or "no."

He listens.....sometimes.
We say one book or one Dora episode,
and he always negotiates for two.

He likes to "pick."
Juice or milk, Goldfish or raisins,
brown shoes or black.....
....doesn't much matter as long as he
calls the shots.
At least he says "peas" and "sank-you!"

He can tell us what he wants....sometimes.
With all of the words he is learning,
sometimes we just don't know
what he is asking for!

He is going to be tri-lingual.
He was counting in Spanish the other day.
Uno, dos, quatro, cinco, ses....ocho, nueve....
No big deal.
Just counting my cheerios.
And the Dutch words keep coming too.
It's crazy!!

He is stubborn as an ox....ALL THE TIME!
His way, or no way.
I hope it won't always be as hard
to get him to do what we want or need him to.

Who am I kidding?
What about when he's a teenager?
Good grief.
Thank goodness he's small
for a few more years!

Gosh, I swear every time you post photos, he looks older!
And, stubborn doesn't always have to be a BAD thing. He'll be a fighter, he'll stand up for what he believes, and never back down:-)

My goodness, you guys have one handsome little boy. Get ready to lock those doors and screen the phone calls from all the girls!

Love the blue flower blog set up.

So crazy that he's going to be 2!! Man, time flies. And he really does just keep getting cuter.
