A Smile to Brighten Your day!

Samuel has had a few major developmental spurts over the last month or so. He has started talking in sentences and now he never stops. Sometimes it's one demand after another. This gets old very fast. Every once in awhile I'll get a "Tank you so much mommy!" And Tim got a big "I wuv you too daddy!" the other night! It's amazing how sweet he can be at times.

He can also be quite funny. One night we were going over his big boy bed rules. I explained that he was not to leave his room, but if he needed me, he should call me and I would come into his room. Sure enough at 2am that night, I heard, "mommy, mommy, mommy!" So, I dragged myself out of bed and made my way to his room. I opened the door to find him sitting on his heat vent with a smile on his face. He said to me, "Good job getting out of bed, mommy!" I couldn't help but smile back and chuckle.

Samuel is also at the stage where he wants to do EVERYTHING BY HIMSELF!!! I never thought that being two was so terrible until I told him "No Samuel, only mommy or daddy can use the drill" and the child proceeded to throw himself on the ground, screaming like I had cut one of his limbs off. So is life with a toddler!

All in all, it's been delightful watching my little guy's personality develop. He is the smile that brightens my day!
