2 year olds

As I try to type this the 2 year old is trying to put the little dog we are taking care of in its kennel.  I tell him that puppy doesn't need to go in there and that he is scaring her.  So he cries and screams.  Now he is trying to put his Cookie Monster toy on her like she is a horse for it.   He seems to be constant motion!  Now doing his favourite game mom counts 1,2,3 Go and he runs through the house.  Somedays a jet, today a spit machine obviously.

I love my boy, he is certainly noise with dirt on it.  Roar, scream, spit spraying!  He just thought it a good idea to stand on the little people house and jump onto the coffee table only to fall and hurt his foot.  Quick cuddle and kiss from mommy then he is taking me hand and leading me to the fridge.  He is not very verbal yet so through grunts, few words and pulling mommy along he asks for some orange juice by opening fridge and getting it out.

He enjoys animals, cars, balls, painting, piggy back rides from sis and wrestling with his brother.  He loves to play with his food and sometimes eats it.  As I clean up the floor I remind myself this season will be over faster then believable as I see with my 8 year old.  He loves cuddles with mom after sleeping which I love too.  My hubby let me sleep in 2 days these days off and Bubby was a little whiney and out of sorts both days, we figured he missed his mommy cuddles.

If while I'm doing laundry and some of my piled laundry goes missing I know a little bubby probably helped and am sure to find it in his dresser.  He knows where his granola bar wrapper goes, and is helpful with cleaning up when he feels like it.  He has pooped and peed in the potty but I haven't done the full potty training yet. (After the puppy we are taking care of goes home I'm starting). He is growing up so fast yet still just my baby.  His sister and brother both at school full time reminds me of how soon enough I will have to let go.

So at the end of the day I'm tired and maybe a little frazzled by this 2year old.  So happy and blessed by my little bubby as I know he was a gift to me.  And to soon this season of crazy toddler adventure will be over, and I will be wondering where the years have gone.

Learning to live in the moment and know the season is sure to change, maybe to fast after all.
