We decided that we are going to skip a party this year, so we headed to The Old Poway Park for a train ride. A few friends decided to join us.
Your stats (Yes you're a skinny little dude):
Weight - 24 lbs - 17%
Height 35.5 inches - 64%
We didn't want to have a big overwhelming party for you this year, but just wanted to enjoy time together as a family, so we decided to take you to Old Poway Park for a train ride. It ended up to be a super cold day and even rained all night the day before, but we bundled up and went on with the plan. I mentioned this to a few friends of ours and they decided to join us as well, so we even had a few friends on board. You had a great time, and couldn't wait to get on the train. We played a few games and ran around the big grassy field and even had little mini-cupcakes that looked like little baseballs.
A little more about you...
I love your happy and outgoing personality. In the last few months you have really started to be a little chatter box. Repeating just about everything after us and especially Sascha. The only thing you were not willing to say is your name... not sure why that is, but a few weeks after your birthday you saw a picture of you and Sascha and I asked you who that was and you finally said "Cam" in your adorable little voice. You now even use a few Russian words like "Smatrie" to tell me to "Look". Or the word "dye" (means "give") which I remember Sascha used to say very well too at a similar age.
Your favorite birthday toy was a car that you absolutely love. When you push a button, it starts going on it's own and even does a wheely. You sit down and ask us to play with this car so it can go back and forth between the 2 of us. You were also excited about your balance bike and spider man helmet. You tried to ride it at home, but it seems you are just a little bit too small for it. I think in a month or two we can give it another try.
You are super fun and loving little boy. You get super excited when you see school buses on the way to get dropped of at your daycare, so now I always point them out and you say "Oh school bus, fun", "more?". You always want more.
Also as soon as you get up, you ask for "cereal?" It's like an expectation, you get up, get dressed, eat cereal, and may be even watch a little elmo on the weekends.
You have also gotten very independent. Everything I used to do for you, you now yell with authority "MY TURN", and insist on doing it yourself. It started with eating: I have relinquished all control in trying to feed you. If you are going to eat, it's going to be you feeding yourself with a fork or spoon.
You are obsessed with baby beluga, the story and now the animal too. After daddy took you to Sea World and you picked out your white beluga toy, you now go to sleep with it (yes along with the doggy blanket, the giraffe we got you at the zoo, and now a beluga). You give it hugs and even rock with it on the chair attempting to sing the baby beluga song which you insist on us reading/singing every single night.
We've had a a few trying moments with you hitting, mainly it happens when you get frustrated at Sascha because she took something that you wanted and isn't willing to give it back, but we always get you two to kiss and make up. You are actually very giving - when you are being asked nicely to give something back, to our surprise you listen 9 out of 10 times. You have already learned the meaning of the word "share" and yell it out loud all the time when you want Sascha to give you something that she has. It's a lot of fun to watch your relationship together. You definitely look forward to seeing her every day when you guys both come home, and you look up to her so much, trying to do just about everything your big sister does.
What fascinates us the most is you throwing. Mostly I am talking about you throwing a ball, however you like to throw other objects around as well. The ball throwing is getting really fun, you aim and you throw pretty well for a little 2 year old dude. You also try to catch. Throwing and catching is by far your favorite thing to do.
