This kid of mine turned 2 and a half back on the 4th of this month and I thought it was time for an update. Since I don't do the monthly anymore for him and maybe your wondering how his little life is.
- He is fully talking now. Of course it's not perfect but I understand most of what he is saying.
- He knows all his colors. Just ask him.
- He can count all the way to 20.
- He can point out 1-10 on a board, even when they are out of order.
- He walks right into school now. Gives me a kiss and hug and says Bye Mom and is gone.
- He doesn't like potty training and it's been a struggle. Pediatrician said to not fight it so we aren't. He is in pull ups though and does go, just doesn't tell me yet nor make the effort himself. For a non-lazy kid, he sure is lazy on this.
- He doesn't care there is a baby on the way nor does he acknowledge it. His poor life is going to change and we keep talking about it but he either just doesn't understand (I don't think he's been around a baby) or he just ignores us. Either way, she is coming and he is going to have to deal.
- He loves to dance and sing songs.
- He is really into cars. Like LOVES cars of every kind. He can never have to many and wants to take them everywhere.
- He loves movies.
- He visited the dentist for the first time and hated it.
- He still takes a 2-3 hour nap depending on the day.
- He is always on the go. Never likes to stop. He plays all day long, then naps, then wakes and plays more and then bedtime. His favorite is to be outside. Doesn't matter what we are doing, he just wants to be outside.
- He has great manners. Please, thank you, your welcome, bless you, etc. he says it all.
- He has anger issues which isn't uncommon because he is 2 but it's a different kind of anger. He gets these rages and when I brought it up to his Pediatrician, she said that he may have gotten testosterone early. That boys tend to get a huge release of it between 2 and 1/2 to 4 and they aren't quite sure how to deal with it. It's like this boost of adrenaline and it doesn't last long but it can be annoying to deal with. We do time-out and talk to him to try to get him through this stage. It's just something we have to get through and we will.
Because he is really is a wonderful, sweet child. He brightens any room he enters and he always gives hugs. He says bye to everyone when he's leaving, no matter who you are. He laughs all the time and his personality is bigger than most. And even though we have the anger problems, it's very few and he is learning how to do with it.
Brody Daniel Lewis-
You are my heart and my boy. You make me laugh so much. You are incredible and I thank God you are mine. I can't wait to see how you are as a big brother. She is so lucky to have you in her life, even if she doesn't know it yet. You bring so much life to this house and to me. I just love you kiddo!
Love, Mom
