Logic of a Two-year Old

Andrew is starting to get such a funny little personality. It's so great to see him grow and figure things out. I wanted to write a few of the moments that make me laugh, so I can remember his little two and a half year old personality....as well as a few recent and random pictures from the last month or so.

Lately, he has started to pull out this fake-laugh from almost nowhere and because we laughed at him once...or maybe twice...okay all the time. He gets a real kick out of himself, thinks he's hilarious and does it all the time now.

This two-year old in our house cracks us up these days with his logic.

We were playing outside one afternoon and I mentioned how hot it was. It noticed he was sweating and asked if he was hot and wanted a drink. His reply...."Andrew IS hot." Then continues to blow on every body part he can see. His fingers, his arm, his knee, his toes...because that's what you do when things (i.e. our food) is hot. You blow on them.

Chilling on the couch watching a show with his favorites...remotes

For a few month's he went through a phase where he would bite things to show that he was angry. He would bite the couch, his toys, his arm, and sometimes mommy. After a time out, I'd come up and talk to him about what he'd done and I'd usually show him his teeth marks on what ever it was he bit.  Then I'd tell him that he gave ouchies by biting it. I knew it was starting to sink in when we were doing some feeding therapy on chewing and biting.  I was showing him how to bite a new type of food. He looked at me with a concerned look on his face and replied. "Mommy give it ouchie? Say you sorry"

I love how hard he is concentrating on the task of coloring. The smallest things are so hard when you are still working on sitting in a chair. 

Naming body parts is one of Andrew's past times. He finds it so funny to name and label everything. I'm sure like most two-year old kids, finding his belly button is one of the funnest body parts to find. I was on the floor working on a project one day and he walked over to me in his walker. He bent down and lifted the back of my shirt up. Then asked, "Mommy, where belly button?" Nope, sweetheart not gonna find it there!

We've had a blast going to a sensory gym for kids with special needs with a few friends. He hated the ball pit at first, but now it is his favorite part. 

Now that it's fall, the sun doesn't rise as early in the morning.  One morning this week it was a bit cloudy and rainy which made it still pretty dark when he woke up in the morning. His little logic was spot on...."mommy it's very dark. The sun is broken"

Trying to convince mommy that he can take his afternoon nap on the couch

And just one last one...
As we sat down for lunch one day, my stomach was making weird noses and growling. Between bites of chicken nuggets, he causally reminded me to "say excuse me, mommy" Guess all reminders to say excuse me after bodily functions applies to stomach growling too.

He is so into reading scriptures and the Book of Mormon right now. Found him like this with his blanket on his bedroom floor this week.

Being two is such a fun age...yes there are many tantrums and times where I'm completely exhausted, but someone told me once to enjoy the stage they are in as hard as it might be some days, because you never know what's around the corner...it might be harder.  That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I truly love seeing him learn, explore and become a little independent person.
