He is two AND A HALF!

First, my heart is pretty big, but a huge slice of it belongs to this two and a half year old! Everyday is not perfect. Actually, lately time out is a constant thing, but I realize much of it is age and a bit of jealousy over baby brother. He has started testing us lately which means I really have to be consistent as the rule enforcer. It. Is. Hard. But last night I remembered it is all worth it. I watched that sweet angel face sleeping soundly in his bed and my heart just grew a bit more.
Dylan, at 2 and a half, you:
-are constantly asking questions!
-have discovered your sweet tooth like Mommy (oops)!
-still love to play outside more than anything! You love the park, zoo, Daddy's office with all those power tools, and the creek down our street!
-want to watch Diego, Mickey, or Jake the pirate during cartoon time.
-have an imagination that is off the charts!
-love getting into "character" these days. Example: you are pirate Jake and Mommy is captain Hook and I have to take something from you and you get it back!
-finally name your colors correctly!
-are learning how to whisper during church!
-have your own little change pouch that you use when it is time to give money to Jesus. You love dropping money in the basket!
-have nicknamed your brother "Cale-bee" You call him this or baby and you LOVE him so much!
-told me on Valentine's Day that you wanted to give your little craft heart to Jesus :)
-asked if we could do my prayer stick one morning because you wanted to say thank you God for Mommy :)
-don't weigh very much but your size 2T pants are high waters!
-are beginning to learn how to make words plural. It is so fun to watch you learn! Examples: you's, mouse's
-love to say "that's a good idea!"
-love seeing Miss Alison for a haircut!
-love paint, play-doh, carrots with ranch, applesauce squeezers, I Spy books, sports, and mud. SUCH A BOY!
