Rhett's Favorites 2010

Favorite Phrase: You have a rather extensive vocabulary for a two-year old. You can carry on a normal conversation with an adult and sometimes it's rather amusing. Right now you say "because" statements all the time even if it doesn't make any sense. Our favorite one is when we ask you where something is you immediately says, even without looking for it or glancing in any whichway "I don't see it".

Birthday: This year for your 2nd birthday we had a Mickey Mouse birthday party. Grandma Nancy made a Mickey Mouse cake and we celebrated with friends and family. You had a lot of fun opening your presents and eating your birthday cake.


Other moments:
* You LOVE the cabin and talk about going there ALL THE TIME. You want to go "throw rocks in the river".
* You are so good a cleaning up after yourself. After you are done playing with something you always put it away - even if we don't ask you to. In fact, we will find you picking up after your sister if she isn't doing it.
* You take great naps and it is no problem to get you to go to sleep at naptime. Or at bedtime for that matter. The problem lies with you sleeping through the night. You always wake up and crawl into bed with mom and dad. Mom and dad need to get with the program and make you stay in your own bed at night. We have just been lazy.
*You and sissy both had whooping cough this year and it was the most frustrating thing I had gone through. You coughed for about 4 months straight but never lost your energy or your love for life.
* You enjoy tormenting Solomon and tend to do so more when you are tired.
* You are a ball full of energy and are always moving, never walking, you are always running or jumping or bouncing. You have gotten better with your balance though and don't run into as many things as you used to but you head still takes a beating from time to time.
* You have restrained from putting things in your mouth as often unless it's snow (even if it's been on the parking lot for three days and is now dirty slush - you will eat it), or burning candles (you put one of those in your mouth at the Christmas Eve service and burned your lip).
* You definately keep mommy and daddy on your toes and we are constantly laughing at you. You are such a sweet boy who loves your family and your sister. You have brightened up our lives so much and we look forward to many more fun memories with you in 2011.
