Sammy 2 1/2 Years Old

Sammy hit 2 1/2 at the beginning of November.  This little man's personality just keeps getting bigger and bigger - I'm not sure how it all fits in his little body!

He talks super well and says the funniest phrases.  He'll say to me, "Hi Mommy. How are you doing today?" And he has learned how to put annoyance or displeasure into his voice as he says, "Uhh! Mommy!" It's pretty cute and yet exasperating as well at times!

He loves all things boy now, though you will occasionally still find him in one of Lucy's dress up tutus, wings, or hats.  He loves trains, balls, and cars. He also loves to just carry around little toys and to take them to bed with him.  Right now he's got Rex and Buzz from Toy Story with him.  Last night he asked for his Percy train. 

He and Lucy play a lot together now.  They also fight a lot together now.  So they're pretty normal siblings. :)

He's started to show an interest in potty training.  We've got a couple of books from the library that he loves reading and we've gotten him some train undies.  He almost always says yes if we ask if he wants to sit on the potty and once even suggested it himself.  Spencer and I are thinking we'll actively try over Christmas break. 

 

He has kind of hit the terrible twos as well - getting more demanding and physical if he doesn't get his way.  This is a new fun challenge for us! He is a sweetheart as well though and freely gives hugs and kisses. We sure love this little guy! :)
