It seems like I blinked my eye and then Evan was two. How did it happen so fast? Yet at the same time, the day he was born seems like ages ago. Things have changed SO much since then. I have changed so much since then. And I am still learning. A lot. Mainly I am learning about my depravity. But enough about that. The focus of this post is my little two year old. It still seems weird to say I have a two year old. No more babies in this house anymore (And that's the way we'd like to keep it). Instead we have a loud, talking (yelling) full-of-the-joy-of-life two year old. His smile is irresistible. His excitement is contagious. His stubbornness is maddening. There is a lot of fire and fight in this one. His adoration of his older brother is obvious. Copies everything he does and repeats everything he says (it just has to be of his own will...he cannot be bossed around). He is solid. He is strong. He loves animals and music. He sings along with me when I rock him and sing to him before bedtime. But don't mistake him for a softy. He holds his own against his brother. He likes to roughhouse. He likes to run and climb and jump and get dirty and play with trucks and push things around..basically anything boy. He is crazy...you just never know what he is going to do. He is very affectionate. He is always going up to kids at the park and kissing them. He especially likes babies. He gives the best hugs. He puts his arms around your neck and presses his cheek against yours. He is very friendly, always saying hi to people wherever we are. I've been told more than once by strangers that he would make a good politician. He says "frink" instead of drink", if you ask him why he did something he says, "because I am", if you call his name to talk to him because he is doing something he shouldn't he comes up to you and says, "Yeah? Uh-huh? Yeah?". He knows how to smile at me to get what he wants. He is so darn adorable yet can be so infuriating at the same time. Our lives would be incredibly boring right now if we hadn't been blessed with the gift of Evan. We love him deeply and he brings so much joy into our home.
