It's Great to be Two and more!!!

I am a bit behind in blogging, but the past six weeks have been so busy that I haven't even had a second to catch up everyone on the activities around the Pitstop.  I survived finals...forty pages of papers and two written finals....I wasn't sure that it was possible.  With a little assistance from Mimi and Mammaw, I got it done, and the kids survived too!  

In the meantime, our little man turned the big two!!!  It is so hard to believe that he is so big.  It seems like just yesterday when Scott and I were putting him on top of the dryer hoping that it would soothe him to sleep.  Now, we face the challenges of potty training and getting him to stay in his 'big boy' bed.  Time really does fly.  He is turning into the most amazing little boy, and his vocabulary grows everyday.  The words that come out of his mouth amaze me daily.  He is a little sponge that picks up everything.  "One, twooooo, hree, ourrrr, ive", he says, and my mouth falls to the floor.  His hugs are amazing, and he is truly the most loving child.  He is the sunshine in my life, and I am so grateful to be his mommy. 

We have been celebrating all month long with a big birthday bash at gymboree.  I highly recommend them for parties.  It was wonderful, and kids had the best time.  Mammaw did a beautiful job on the cakes.  'George' and 'Jeremy' replicas set the mood for all of our monkeying around.  We were no short on presents, and Will has been assisting Daddy with his new tools and workbench, which has inspired a few home improvement projects.  We had a great time, and everyone left with smiles.

We have also taken a few field trips to Daddy's office and to the aquarium.  "ishhhh!!!", he says over and over again!!!  He loved it.  Emma of course got in on all the birthday fun.  Equally growing and changing, "hey there" and "What's that" are her two favorite sentences.  She has taken a few steps and is well on her way to walking.  Growing is the theme of the Pitstop lately and with that we must say that "It's great to be two!!!"
