Theodore turned 2 on August 21. We had family over on the 22nd to celebrate and he really enjoyed himself. He was a little tired but he really hung in there. He mostly enjoyed eating, which is the same as any other day. His favorite gift was from his daddy. It’s a play gun that is almost as tall as he is and makes shooting noises. I didn’t go to the store when Chris bought it – otherwise I probably would have pointed out the age on it was for 5 years old and up. Oh well, that’s why he loves it I’m sure. He really believes he is at least as big as Foster. We are in the trenches of training with his behavior right now (more on that later). My favorite thing about Theodore is that he keeps himself busy but would drop everything if someone was willing to hold him and read to him or just cuddle. He is our cuddlebug and we love him so much. The funny thing about him right now is that he is not speaking. He says uh-oh and bubble and that’s about it. Other than that he uses sign language or grunts, whines and points for what he wants or needs. I am so curious to hear what’s going on inside that little mind so I can’t wait until he starts sharing some of his thoughts with us. The main thing I was thinking on his birthday is how thankful I am that he is healthy. The day he was born we wrote on the board “Thank you God for Theodore Reece” and that is still how I feel!
