A Bit of Cyn

I think he likes cake, originally uploaded by cynandron.

My goodness. How is it possible that my little baby boy is two already? In many ways, I still see him as a baby. (Which may not be the best thing for him, but it is what it is.) He obviously is NOT a baby, but he’ll always be my baby.

It’s amazing that he has gone from this little guy who needed me for everything to this trying to be independent guy who still needs mom when he’s tired, hungry, not feeling well, or is frustrated that life isn’t going as he hoped. Oh, and for the lap to sit on for cuddling.

He has many, many words now! Thanks to all of those who told me to just wait and not worry. Sure enough, this guy is picking words up left and right. He’s using 2 word sentences and surprises me almost daily with what he knows/can say. He’s still “advanced” when it comes to large motor skill activities. He is oh so close to being able to pedal his trike. Sophia just learned last year when she was 3!

The boy loves art. His daycare always tells me how he tries to be first in line for any of the art activities because he loves it that much. At home he’s always asking to color, do playdough, glue or cut. (He can’t really cut yet, but he wants to!) He loves using chalk outside, too.

And, he is ALL boy. He is obsessed with trucks and buses. If he’s crying, I’ll get a book with either of these and almost always the tears are gone. His favorite song is E-I-E-I-O. He’ll tell you which animal is on the farm, too. LOL

Here are some answers to questions I ask him:

Drew, what’s your favorite shape? Oval.
Drew, what’s your favorite color? Blue (or octagon; I keep telling him that’s not a color but he doesn’t seem to care)
Drew, who’s your best friend? Angie (daycare teacher) or Heidi (daycare friend)
What’s your favorite song? E-I-E-I-O
What’s your favorite animal? Mooo (I think that means cow)

Here’s to you, Drew (and me, for giving birth to you and having a birthday myself tomorrow)! Happy Birthday, Little Big Boy!

Anyway, we’re heading to IA to meet up with some of Ron’s family tomorrow. Hope you all have a safe, happy, and fun Memorial Day Weekend!
