Noah just turned the big t-w-o on January 1st. We are just back from our two-week trip to Manitoba where we spent Christmas with our family up there. It was wonderful - everyone took such good care of us and we truly appreciate it. I will post pictures-- many many wonderful snowy shots soon.
That might wait till I return from Vegas next week (work trip I leave for this weekend) and Connor returns from California (he leaves in the morning). Yes, we do not stop jetting about. We have travel in our blood! In the meantime, just a few of my favorite things about TWO...
The sheer honesty!
At 24-months, it seems that a child has not learned the fine art of manipulation. They do not yet know to lie to appease a parent or try to get their way. No savvy or cavalier is in place. It is all face value. And, many times, this pans out to be quite comical.
Mom: "What are you going to do if I give this to you?"
Noah: "Whole thing, dump."
Mom: "But that would make a big mess for mommy. Maybe I could give it to you and you could not dump it. Heh?"
Noah: "Whole thing, dump."
Mom: "Now, if I give this back to you, are you going to do it again?"
Noah: "Yes."
And, crude but true - sheer two year old honesty...
In a shopping mall - Uncle Cody is carrying Noah. Connor is walking with them.
Connor: "Noah, that was some face you just made. Did you just have a poop?"
Noah: "No. Fart."
And, he was right. (Definitely taking after his father.)
