Little man - 26 & 27 months

Communication 
Your language has turned into full blown conversation. You use words like "probably, always, never (as in never ever ever ever), under, over and sometimes".  Your communication baffles my mind and I am shocked every day by how much you say and understand.  You love to give the play by play of everything that is happening and what everyone is doing.  You talk to your animals when you are in bed and you sing to them too.


Right now!
You want everything done - right now! And if things don't happen the way you want - boy oh boy can you throw a tantrum! You throw your little body down on the floor in less than 2 seconds.

You are singing more and more songs and the words are getting clearer and clearer. You sing Twinkle Twinkle, Itsy bitsy spider, the hokey pokey and If You're Happy and you know it. You also sing the ABCs.
You can count to 9- and higher sort of :) but you always skip 10 and 11. Haha!
You've started counting before you do everything - 12345 it's quite funny.

You love playing in the yard more than anything and you will dig in the dirt for hours.  You like to dig with your dad and pull up worms from the dirt. You also spent lots of time this month digging up these gigantic roots in the dirt.

We have been talking more and more about Sis coming - and you seem very excited! You love to help me do her laundry and organize in her room.

Your truck obsession is still in full force.  You now know the names for most of your trucks including excavator and backhoe.  You would rather watch garbage truck videos than anything else on TV. 

Eating
You are trying more new foods.  You would live on "snacks" if we let you.  Your favorite thing lately is your snack cup - which we fill up with a mixture of Cheerios, cranberries, raisins, cheese bunnies, almonds, pretzels or other items you request.  You still love milk and fruits and vegetables :)

Sleep
You have remained consistent the past couple months with your one long afternoon nap and bedtime around 8.  You are a pretty good sleeper.  Lately at naptime you don't want songs anymore or even books - you say "get in bed right now momma.  Open the door, close the door, go downstairs momma."  Such a big boy.  At bedtime your dad sings you songs and sometimes you will call for him to come back for one more song.  So sweet.

Love you more every day kiddo!
