2 1/2

This little monkey is 2 1/2 today.

I think the thing that stands out the most for him at this age is that he is very particular about what he wears. He likes to pick out his clothes and his pj's, but if we're in a hurry or if there is something I want him to wear, I can usually talk him into it as long as he can pick his socks. This boy is still crazy about socks!

He's finally showing some interest in learning to count and say his abc's. He can't do either, but he sure tries. I think he can count to 4 or 5, but mostly he just smiles and says the number with a half second delay after I say it. It's cute.

He's a snuggler and still likes to be held or be sitting on my lap when he's not playing. I don't know what his favorite toy or show is because he just plays with whatever Andrew is playing with and watches whatever Andrew is watching. He does seem to like Elmo and The Wiggles, though he's also fine without them.

The biggest change is that he has decided to give up his naps. Just like that. He went from 3 hour naps to none. I remember this stage with Andrew. He still napped like a champ at school but just had quiet time at home. My guess is that will be the same for Mason. Goodbye naps...

Time is flyin'!
