On Halloween, our baby turned 2! It's hard to believe, as it still feels like yesterday we naively went to the hospital 5 1/2 weeks before William's due date only to be told, he's coming! We have enjoyed every minute of these last 2 years, even the nights of little sleep. It is truly a gift to be able to see the world through William's eyes.
On car trips, we are constantly on the lookout for any big trucks, buses, fire trucks, police cars, worker men, you name it. This boy absolutely loves all things trucks! He also loves reading and is starting to string together short sentences. He's a big help around the house when it comes to cleaning. William's house cleaning jobs include sweeping and dusting. We're still working on the whole picking up toys and books. He helps get together his meals, pushes his highchair to the table and gets his bib out. William also helps with Matthew, making sure Matthew's blanket is on and throwing away any dirty diapers. When it's time for us to go, William helps get everyone's shoes.
For nap time, we usually get about 2-3 hours of sleep out of William. And, we've reached a point where William can put himself down for his naps himself! There are still some days when he needs to be rocked to sleep, but what a relief it is that this is now a rarity.
We have encountered some fit throwing, but know this is only a stage and hugely due to frustration in not being able to communicate what he wants. We just hope the phase passes quickly!
We are so excited though for this year and watching the excitement in William with each new thing he learns! We love you!!!
