They definitely have an opinion about certain things now. If I give them water, they tell me they want milk. If I give them milk, they want juice. If I give them juice, they want coke (yes, coke). Etc. It's not that bad, though. I actually like that they have an opinion and can make decisions on their own. Now when I give them options about what to eat,drink, play or wear, they can actually make a choice and I can give them what they want. It's a win-win situation.
At 2 years old, Logan:
- loves to sit on his special football couch and spin until he gets dizzy
- loves to play Ring Around the Rosies
- loves to play with cars, trucks, and blocks
- loves to race Taylor around the house
- loves being outdoors, especially when water is involved
- tells me when he has a booboo and wants a kiss to make it feel better
- cannot stand to have food stuck in his teeth
- tells me when Kendall cries
- sings (loudly in church) and dances
- enjoys copying Taylor, especially when he whines
- enjoys reading books
- enjoys snuggling up with his stuffed animals
- enjoys eating just about anything, but ice cream, lollipops, and chocolate are his favorite
- favorite colors: blue and green
- favorite songs: The ABC Song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, If You're Happy and You Know It, The Itsy Bitsy Spider
- favorite movies: Toy Story, The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Chuggington, The Emperor's New Groove, etc.
I think that Logan might be ready to be potty trained. He usually tells me when he has pooped. Of course that is after the fact, but he has also told me before. Now it's all a matter of whether or not I am ready for the task. Oh boy!
Logan is such a sweet boy. He always expresses concern when Taylor cries. He often sits beside Taylor in time-out. He also expresses concern when Kendall cries. He sometimes even grabs my hand to take me to her.
At 2 years old, Taylor:
- loves to sit on his special basketball couch and spin until he gets dizzy
- loves to play Ring Around the Rosies
- loves to play with cars, trucks, blocks, puzzles, computers, and balls
- loves to race Logan around the house
- loves being outdoors, especially when water is involved
- tells me when he has a booboo and wants a kiss to make it feel better
- cannot stand to have food stuck in his teeth
- sings and dances (hip-hop moves)
- enjoys reading books
- enjoys eating meat and junk food, but still refuses to eat vegetables
- favorite colors: blue and green
- favorite songs: The ABC Song, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Once There Was A Snowman, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
- favorite movies: Toy Story, The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Chuggington, The Emperor's New Groove, etc.
I feel like Taylor's communication has progressed very slowly... until this month. I feel like he has made more progress this month than he has this whole year. He can count, although most numbers sound like "9." It must be his favorite/lucky number =) He can name colors, although most of them look "white" to him. Maybe he's just guessing =) He says "Night night" and "I love you" at bedtime, which I love. He tells me when he wants a "drink" or a "snack." I feel like he gets a lot less frustrated now that he can tell me what he wants and needs. Of course he still gets frustrated and throws tantrums when he doesn't get it his way, but that's typical, right?
Taylor is such a lovey boy. I love that he still enjoys snuggling up with me when he wakes up before Logan. It totally makes my day to have him, and just him, all to myself. It doesn't happen a ton, so when it does happen, it is very precious to me. I feel like these one-on-one times make me a better mom because I can actually be a mom and not a referee. It's a good change.
I love my baby boys so much!
Happy birthday, Logan and Taylor!
You are the best thing that ever happened to me!
