What 2 Looks Like

Please summer...don't go

This is what being 2 looks like!

This makes mommy nervous but I LOVE skateboards!

I now have about 1,000 trucks and motorcyles at my house

Aunti Dana made me my own skateboard and got me pads that make me look like Robo-Cop

Mom threw me a "Stripes" party...I don't know why it was stripes, but the pictures turned out good and it was colorful and I know that's what makes mom happy

I've been trying potty training but I still like to pee on the floor and watch it make a mess

Woody is my best friend

I'm the birthday boy!! Crib full of balloons on my birthday morning. Mom and Auntie Dett joke that when I'm in a frat at WSU that we'll still come to the sleeping porch and put balloons in my bed and take my picture and they'll make one of those year by year frames of this moment. They're crazy.

My dad took me on the Bug's Life ride at California Adventure...it was so cool

They even let me get wet at the water park

We stayed late and watched the World of Color water and light show and it was the coolest thing ever! I highly recommend it. AND Dad and Mom can have a few beers at California Adventure (but not at Disneyland) so they like it here too.

How did summer just sneak up and disappear? Friends due dates came and passed (Yay! New babies), Jackson turned two, and all of the sudden I meet my new class of kids this Friday. I just want to stop time sometimes and hold onto all these perfect moments that pass too quickly.

I've been a lazy blogger (well pretty lazy at anything honestly) this summer, actually I don't think anyone can be lazy with a 2 year old. That's my excuse why I get nothing done because Jackson is quite demanding of all of my attention, and while I love to give it to him I see why people have more than one child so they have a built in playmate.

Jackson and I are great playmates. He now says, "Momma...watch this." and he'll do a cool dance move or shake his blonde fro around. We watch a lot of Toy Story and he has a stuffed animal Woody and Buzz that go everywhere with us in the car ("momma's truck). Jackson is great at riding his little balance bike from REI. It is the coolest little bike with no pedals...Jackson just coasts down the boardwalk.

Jackson talks a LOT all of the sudden. At Starbucks he repeatedly screamed, "want COFFEE!" while my mom laughed and I turned a shade of red. Jackson gives great squeezes and kisses, still hates his crib so we are thinking of going bunk beds so our guests have an actual bed to sleep on, and he is into everything.

He makes me laugh every day and I just want him to stay my baby. The temper tantrums can go their way, but this is a cute and tiresome age. Happy birthday big guy!
