I would love to know what goes through the mind of a strong-willed 2-year old. Jonah is that, and more. He’s crazy, smart, crafty and TWO. Here’s what you need to know about him right now:
Taking his cue from Zachary, he is now obsessed with Star Wars. (Or at least the GameCube Legos version of Star Wars.)
He looks so much like me when I was his age.
He loves daycare. Every morning has him climbing up the changing table to get dressed for school.
When told “I love you!” he will respond “ove you!” (Think “love” without the “L”)
His favorite things are butterflies and ladybugs.
He already looks up to his big brother for everything.
Daddy says, and I quote, “He’s a 2-year old terror!”
He loves music and dancing. (Hmm, I wonder where he gets that from?)
Above everything, he loves to color and write. The kid holds a pen with a perfect grip.
Books. The boy loves books. All books. I swear I read at least five books a day to him, and he sleeps with at least two books.
Jonah recognizes the colors red, blue, yellow, and green. He’s also been sorting shapes, correctly, for over 6 months.
And he’s finally a little talker. His vocabulary includes:
Mommy (of course!)
Daddy
Zachey
binky
No!
yes
Nana
Gigi
Uncle
butterfly (technically his first word)
bug
bottle
turtle
doggie
kitty
monkey
birdie
juice
please
thank you
eat
Star Wars (I’m not kidding on this one)
shoes
socks
mouse
pants
night night
moon (or “moot” as he actually calls it)
stars
birdy
plane
truck
cow
duck
two
empty
play
rocket (from Little Einsteins)
ball
football
burger
poopy
various animal noises
and more I’m sure I’m forgetting.
Finally, some of his phrases include:
“Help, mommy, now, please!”
“Ove you!” (translated as “Love you!”)
“No! No! No! No!”
“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!”
“Da-ddy!”
“Funny!”
“All done.”
He’s saying more everyday. That’s our Little Bear right now. All the trials and tribulations of life with a 2-year old. 🙂
