2 going on 3


David is a hoot.  He has changed so much and become quite the chatter box.  We like to say he "tweets" because he is always giving play by play updates of what he is doing or about to do.  As you can see, he loves "silly boots" and is obsessed with his newest fire boots.  He runs around saying "Fire boots to the rescue!! and wears them all over town in the scorching summer heat.

He is still VERY tenderhearted and get his sweet little feelings hurt easily.  He loves all his extended family so much and is overcome with giddiness with someone shows up at the door.  I love how much joy and excitement exudes from his pure little heart.  He is so genuine and expresses gratitude over the simplest things.  I could learn a lot from him.

Our newest hiccup has brought us to a book written by Richard Scarry--Pig Will Pig Won't.  David loves this book and we have been using the storyline to prompt him to make good choices.  Last night, he prayed to have a "Pig Will heart."  It was so sweet.

His most recent favorite book is "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."  He calls it with "Cloudy with Meatballs" and you can hear him hollering from his bed during nap time asking for it.  It is special to us because this was Grant's favorite childhood book as well.  Surprise, it has to do with food :).

2 year olds are sponges and it is shocking the things he comes up with.  When asked when he was going to play golf with Daddy, Dave responded by saying, "College."  In the car last week he kept putting dot com on the end of everything he said.  This weekend he said he was about to lose his temper.  After not getting juice on demand, David said to me, "I not play with you ever again.  You not nice to me."  Where do they learn these things!?  He is very particular and wants to be called a "little boy" rather than baby or big boy.  I referred to he and Evie as "kiddos" and he requested I say "little kid."  It is amazing how we have constant dialogue going on around here.  I cannot imagine how it will be once Evie can talk as well.
