Kai Isaac

Happy Birthday sweet boy. Hard to believe that TWO years ago you joined our family. We continue to "rejoice in your laughter." 

Some things I want to remember about you, Kai, at this moment:

*You are a bashful flirt. You love to give coy smiles and then bury your face into me or hide behind my legs. 

*You are obsessed with your cowboy boots. Fortunately, they are a bit big still so you have some time to grow in to them.

*You adore your big brother. You LOVE to do and say everything he is.

*You have become our commentator. You repeat the last word of every sentence on TV. 

*You are so happy and proud (as you should be!) of all the words you're learning. Your vocabulary grows by leaps and bounds every day.

*You use the potty when prompted, but don't make the conscious decision on your own yet. 

*You've enjoyed some quality 1 on 1 time while Kadyn's been in preschool. 

*You are finally getting interested in sitting through the duration of a book. I love that you always want to sit on my "yap" when we read. And, I love that you get so excited about the animals on each page that you have to shout them out to me. 

*You never confused "me" and "you" like so many kids do. Everything is just "me."

*You are still our great sleeper. Though you've been waking up earlier to spend a few a minutes with me before I head to work and to watch a "movie" you're still taking 3+ hour naps. 

*You love babies. You get down on the floor with them, lay on your tummy and sit and stare forever. 

*You're entering the very independent stage. You want to do everything on your own. "Ah, ME!"

*You've started to put 2 words together. 

*You have no fear. We are SO in trouble. T.R.O.U.B.L.E

We are doing a joint birthday party for the boys the first weekend in December. They are so excited to have a pirate birthday. And fortunately, they are so excited to have it together. Not too sure how many more birthdays we'll get away with it being joint.
