Recently, This boy turned two:
That gave our little family a chance to reflect on what he means to our family. He provides so much entertainment, as do all toddlers.
He makes us laugh.
He is a sponge for learning. He shocks all of us with the stuff he picks up from watching us.
I love how he, inspired by his older brother, drives his cars to a soundtrack in his head:
His cars move to the sounds of Porter humming Indiana Jones theme song or the Harry Potter theme song.
I love that his cars speak to each other.
While cooking dinner in the kitchen, I get to listen to him play in the library. Without fail one car will drive up to the other and say, "Hey. How's your day?" And then proceed to crash violently with one another.
I love/hate that cars rule his life, which means we are overrun with cars.
They are everywhere.I am half convinced they are breeding because the collection just seems to grow.
They really hurt to step on.
But I can't help but love it, when I see him so carefully line them up in the order that only makes sense to him.
Cars mean EVERYTHING right now.
The boy is growing. His personality is blossoming.
And the crazy boy behavior is flooding our hearts.
He wrestles.
He spits.
He bites.
He laughs at burps.
He hugs
He kisses.
He cuddles.
He fills our home with happiness.
Most of the time, anyway.
