Just a Boy, Doing His Thing...

This evening, while reading to Wyatt, I was reflecting on where we were in this season of his journey. I realized how many things in our day were pretty typical for a two year old. 

We read books, sometimes they get read correctly and sometimes they get read upside down or while trying to quickly read a page before he turns it to the next one. 

And sometimes, we have temper tantrums in the middle of the book because the dog walked by and licked him, which caused him to drop the book. 

We have moments of pure happiness, while getting ready for our day. We play. We try to put anything that’s near us in our mouths. We test boundaries and test then again to see if adults really mean it. 

Sometimes we throw temper tantrums for no good reason. At least, that’s how it feels to Mom. 

We also take some time to snuggle with mom and take a nap. 

We also act like a toddler during spring photos and refuse to smile. (Note: this is NOT the outfit we had planned for photos! A very unfortunate diaper mishap created this look...)

But we also take really great family photos, too.

Life is pretty darn awesome for a two year old. 

Things have been pretty quiet around here, which is a good thing! We are gearing up for surgery next week and doing our best to keep Wyatt healthy. Surgery is scheduled for May 14th. Cross your fingers for continued health and a successful surgery. 

Full disclosure: I also wrestled him into a car seat today, listened to him scream for an entire car ride, got a toy thrown at me, wrangled him while he was rolling away without clothes on, and wrestled him to close his diaper. There is no photographic evidence of those things... But I also got a sloppy kiss, lots of laughter, and a boy who is on a mission to assert some independence.
