One of the reasons I kept this blog going five years ago was to use it as my Baby Book. Now I am slightly regretful because if I ever want to know something I have to search through 100s of posts. I should have started printing them all out as I wrote them. If you ever want to give me an amazingly thoughtful gift… go through the Lucy and Abram section of my Blog and print out all of my posts about them and chronologically bind them together. Oh man, I will love you foreverrrrr!
So I just wanted to write a few things on here about Abram at 2 1/2.
I Love You = I Luff You!
The Grinch= Minch
May I watch a movie please?= Watch movie peas?
You are now in a “big boy” bed. Sometimes you sleep well in it, sometimes you do not. I was apprehensive to get rid of the crib because you slept so well in it but I wanted to get you into a big bed before I start potty training you this summer. So, it had to be done. When I asked you why you wouldn’t stay in your bed your response was “too big”.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, somehow turns into a gun. You are going to be one of those kids sent home from school because you pointed your String Cheese at the teacher and started making shooting noises. I don’t know how. I don’t know why. All I can say is that you are a boy and with boys come dirt, poop and guns. Naturally.
No, we don’t watch violent TV shows. Well, Jake does carry a pirate sword… not sure if that counts.
You love dinosaurs and bugs. Cars. Sports. Snacks. Mosley (he is your BFF and you hug and kiss him before we leave the house and when we come home). Bath time.
We went bowling for the first time recently. You kept saying “really fun Mom! I like bowling!”. It was really sweet and cute and it made me happy that you could express how you felt about it.
You REALLY dislike wearing your seatbelt and being told “no”.
You like to sneak into my purse and steal gum, coins and my phone. You are like a little Houdini. I don’t know how you succeed at this so often but you just get right in there and take what you want. I often find the purse or the wrappers on the floor and you hiding in the corning looking incredibly guilty.
You LOVE Pizza and cereal. Both are equally your favorite foods. I found a vegetable that you will eat and that is cucumbers.
You are so loving, affectionate and sweet. You are persistent. You are energetic. You are a master manipulator. You are generous, silly and passionate.
You love the books Dinosaur Roar! and The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. You love the mini films based off of the books called Gruffalo and The Gruffalo Child. You like Jake and The Neverland Pirates and VeggieTales. Finding Nemo, Frozen and The Grinch. Your favorite songs that you make me sing every night before bed are Jesus Loves Me, Skinnamarinky-dinky-dink (you call this song “I luff me”) and the B-I-B-L-E.
And when you pray before meals and before bed you also pray that “Jesus watch Nemo”.
I can really see your individual personality coming out more and more and your thoughts are being communicated more clearly. It is really cool and exciting to hear you express your opinions and ideas vocally. You say some really funny things and I am so glad they are not just stuck in your head anymore.
Oh, and you may have been my second born but you are not my “#2”. You are equally my number one.
=)
Oh yeah, and I just love how you always come find me to hand me the boogers you just picked out of your nose. And how you always go into the basement for privacy when you have to poop.
And one more thing. You absolutely, without a doubt, LOOOOOOVE snow! Love it. You have been outside helping Daddy “shuvohling” every time it has snowed. It is really hard to get you inside when there is snow on the ground.
