Two and a half

Noah turned a quarter of a decade this past month! At two and a half...

He has become quite his own little man. Our worst threat right now is that we'll do something for him since he wants to do everything himself.



Vocabulary explosion. Being two has been all about language development. We've been hearing new phrases daily, from "need gas, Daddy?" when we pull up to the gas station, to announcing first thing in the morning, "I finished... with bed!"



The obsession with cars continues. Trains have become a close second, but we are now watching NASCAR racing at home my friends.





Imagination is kicking in.  Stuffed animals are now talking to each other, and his cars are crashing and being fixed with his Mater truck (a tow truck from the Cars movie).



Little negotiator. We have quickly discovered that if we give in a little, he pounces and RUNS with it.



Silliness is fun. The best part of this age is his growing awareness of how fun it is to be silly, and the lack of embarassment yet to limit it. He is dramatic and outrageous all at once, and we are constantly amused!
