2 1/2

"A two year old is kind of like having a blender, but you don't have a top for it." Jerry Seinfeld

Greyson seriously makes us laugh everyday and anybody that has a 2 year old around knows just what I mean. Greyson hit the 2 1/2 marker on Monday, May 2, 2011 and as always time is flying. I can't believe I will have a 3 year old this November. CRAZY! He adds so much personality, wonder, excitement, and spunk to our world. He is a joy to be around and the stuff that comes out of his mouth is too much.

At 2 1/2 Greyson speaks in full sentences, he can sing his ABCs but of course never when I ask him to, he can count to 12, he knows his shapes, and his colors. He is well aware of the letter "G" and he knows that his name starts with G but other than that we still continue to work on letters in the tub at night-ha! They are the ones for the tub when they get wet they will stick. And since he really can't go anywhere at that time I feel it's a good time to go over those;) He is a very smart little boy and a total SPONGE! I just can't tell you how much he just cracks us the heck up. But once again all of you that have littles around know just what I mean!

Greyson can have a shy side also. It takes him some time to warm up around new people, but around the people he's used to - LOOK out! He asks a million questions a day, which is GREAT. The usual -

"Mommy where we going today?"

"Daddy what's that?"

"Why daddy?"

"Why mommy?"

"No I don't want to eat, K?"

"Do I have to brush my teeth mommy?"

Me : "Yes Grey we have to brush our teeth everyday."

Grey: "But why mommy, my teeth not yellow." (hah! this is one of my favs - he tells me this everyday)

"Can I bring my tools to grammy Ann's house mommy?"

"Can I?"

"Mommy what you puttin' on me today?"

"Can i just wear sweatpants?"

(On school days I usually dress Grey up so it's funny because he prefers sweats-so he has started to ask what I'm going to put him in)

"No mommy those shoes too tight"..(tantrum kicks in here)

Just some of our daily conversations that I love!

He's thinking real hard just like a 2 year old should do...

In between 2 year old shots, I also was trying to fit in a little 'love where you live' if you will - Matthiessan State Park - Grey liked looking at the waterfall but the heights were freaking me out

You still LOVE when we chase you and play the "I'm gonna get you" game -you are definitely an outside kind of kid and fresh air does ya good....

You are so inquisitive and precise about everything - we won't say where you may or may not get that? Maybe the precise from your mommy just maybe...

You LOVE your daddy and everything he does is just the coolest thing...you love when he plays with you and you are his favorite fishing buddy...there is just NO other person that can get those moo cows going out at the pond like you...

You and your curious little self is just the best thing!

I know you will be the best big brother and it will be your most important title...You already tell me that you are going to "shush" the baby to sleep for me...

31 weeks for mommy and your duties will begin here in 8 weeks or less my dear

You do have a temper of course and when things don't go your way we have our meltdowns and tantrums that usually end with a time out. It's a little scary sometimes when you get your mind set on things, because then there is no looking back or talking with you about it...Once your mind is set - LOOK OUT!!!

You are a TRUE blue though and my lovie - that's what I like to tell you all the time - "Grey you're my lovie!" Or I'll ask you - "Are you my lovie?" And you sweetly nod your head...
