A new year but same old stubborn child. Crew is now 27 months old and is just the
biggest ball of joy. He runs and jumps
and screams and is so rough and tough.
He is always trying to tackle someone and then in the next breath he is
giving them a hug and excited to love on his brothers. Its so interesting to watch and makes you
wonder who he will be when he grows up.
He gets put in time out now or we raise our voices when we are
disappointed and he doesn’t want to look at us so he looks out of the corner of
his eyes and sometimes will be so upset with himself that he will cry just
from us looking at him with
disappointment.
January he enjoyed following the boys around from basketball to basketball game. He was such a trooper. He did very well sitting still as long as we had lots of popcorn and snacks. He also got to enjoy mommy's birthday in January. He loved signing along and blowing out the candles.
His new challenges include eating at dinner time. He is a huge snacker and eating dinner is not
something he does well. He will eat any fruit
or vegetable you put in front of him (or chip or snack) but most meat is not
acceptable…except a hot dog out of the fridge….gross! He loves ketchup or anything for
dipping. Also…gross. We have really tried to focus on cutting back
of the amount of milk he is getting.
Usually only when he wakes up and before he goes to bed.
He is doing more and more on his own like opening up the refrigerator
to find something to eat or getting a treat for the dog to go in her
crate ringing the door bell at Grandma E's house. Still loves to take a bath and wakes
up every morning asking if he can go see “e” and “papaw”. Loves the dog to pieces but terrorizes her
often with shooting her with a gun and chasing her with a sword. Addicted to everything YouTube and Ipad
related. Starting to FINALLY learn his colors and seems to be able to count to 10, can count backwards from 10 (thanks to BLAZE) which he has totally learned from YouTube as he still not repeat anything we say to him in terms of the alphabet or counting. New statement he is saying is , "I don't want to watch" if we are watching something on TV that he doesn't like. Sometimes will close his eyes and walk around and say, "mommy I can't see".
February brought a little more action for Crew. He totally enjoyed himself at the bouncy party we had. He was go, go, go from 2 in the afternoon to 10 pm at night. He had a blast.
Can count 1 - 10, knows he is two years old but says, "i no two, I Four!!", likes going potty in the toilet before we put him in the tub, very good at going to time outs and understanding directions.
