having an 18 month old is a lot of fun, most of the time. at the begining of fall he'll be 2 so I think he just realizes that it's probably a good time to start shedding a ray of light into what it's ACTAULLY going to be like when he does turn 2. but gosh, i do love this boy! here are a few things we're getting quite a kick out of lately:

this kid is seriously a never ending hunger pit! except when we actually sit down for meals… then he wants usually nothing to do with what we're eating, unless its 'wice' (rice). anyone else have kids like that? maybe we need to cut the snacks out? how can you say no to puppy eyes that pleeeead for 'a bite' or a 'nak'??

another thing he has picked up on is the tragic realization of people leaving our house. i'm telling you people, it's the end of the world! we have to deal with the most dramatic boy i've ever seen when people have to go 'bye-eye' 

he's also into frozen, like every seven year old girl out there. he barely sits for the movie but every day he'll occasionally belt out 'GOOOOO!!!!!' in his best singing voice. in fact, a few times i've heard him on the monitor singing himself to sleep. its called fwoen around here though. 

some kids are just born with sports in their blood. and i got one of them. 'bat, ball, beeball, booball, hotey, frow, hit' are all words we use about 1,000,000 times a day. he is constantly bringing anyone a bat and a ball to play with him. what's the age for putting your kids in sports? we're seriously in trouble if its anything past what he'll turn tomorrow. 

'she-side' is the greatest place on earth. he stands at the backdoor and pleads for someone to take him out there. he will explore for hours on end outside playing in dirt, eating dirt, putting dirt down his shirt.  whatever floats your boat kid. but dont bring it back in the house! 

im absolutely positive there is no geater joy in the world than the joy your kiddos bring you. i smile and laugh and appreciate life way more than i ever have before. thanks for opening up my heart to a whole new level of love P-man!
