This kid!

IS hilarious! In less than 2 weeks he is going to be 2 YEARS OLD! I can't believe it but it's true!

He is the biggest HAM of all. Today he RAN into the middle of the street (yah, more training is definitely in order!).  I brought him right in, w/ my heart about to beat right out of my chest--in fear, & gave him a good swat on his tushie--he pretended to cry a bit until I told him he could NOT go back outside, then broke into hysterics! (eyeroll) See what I mean?

I knew he needed to go outside though.  He really should be outside running around at least once a day. SO I took him out & chased him and had him chase me and Birdy to make sure he used those large muscle groups and all that toddler energy. As soon as he stopped crying about not going outside, he calmly SAT on the couch very nicely.  Something he rarely does: sit! But it proved to me how much he needed that run around time.
He actually loves to "perform", much more than his siblings ever did at his age. And he's certainly NOT shy. oh no--not this one.  I didn't even have to convince him of this like the others either. ;-)

He's been climbing OUT of his bed every night, numerous times. I don't know what happened to that sleep-trained toddler I used to have. I think it might be time to move him into a big boy bed soon.....and into his siblings room. 

He such a doll baby! I look at him and can't help but be filled with JOY in my heart. I simply CAN'T imagine my life with out him in it. I don't know what we're going to do for his birthday...maybe I should just turn on the music and let him have the stage.
