Terrible Twos?
Posted on October 24, 2008 - Filed Under Baby Life, Year Two
Alex turned two yesterday. The past two years have gone by so damn fast it scares me a little bit.
Alex is transitioning from little boy to bigger boy and like past transitions I feel good and bad. It’s great to see him growing up so strong and healthy, but sad to see part of the little boy go away. I’ve really enjoyed his birth to toddler stage.
The past week Alex seems to whine more and more. I guess this is part of the stage but there are times where he just whines non-stop, almost like he is stuck and can’t get out of it. The crying lasts a little longer now also.
We had his favorite meal last night, french fries! Yeah I know, we are not going to win any “healthy eating awards” for that one but it was his birthday! He liked us singing Happy Birthday to him and had a smile on his face the entire time. After the meal I zoomed him around the house on his trike, popping wheelies and pretending we were stunt drivers. We laughed and had a good time.
Alex is getting much better at handling being in large crowds of people. In the past he would kind of cling to us and get a little cranky. At my grandmothers memorial service he was like a different kid. He ran all over the place and his fear of strangers was nowhere to be found. He was really in his element and having a great time given the circumstances.
I look forward to the holidays this year, and the excitement he will get out of it now that he is older and can get into it more.
