Today starts my month of having two two year olds. You know, the one month out of the year where Tyler and Tyson are the same age? Yes, they are just eleven months apart. It always makes me feel good to hear of other families with children REALLY close in age. A couple weeks ago, I met a mom at Tyler's ECFE class who has children who are just nine and a half months apart. Craziness, right? Oh, how those stories make me feel better ;)
So, today is Tyson's second birthday. We started the day with his doctor's appointment. After being given a clean bill of health, I took him to daycare and headed to work. Tonight we had Grammy over for grilled hotdogs and brats and birthday cake and ice cream.
It's interesting how, with my current job, where I spend all day, every day with two year olds, I find myself comparing my own children to the children I work with every day. When I compare Tyson to other kids his age (the ones I know anyway), I'm realizing that he talks more than most of them. He talks a lot. I am able to understand most of what he says. Mike on the other hand, sometimes needs some translation from myself or Kayden to help him figure out what Tyson needs.
He really is nowhere near ready to start potty training. We are obviously in no rush, seeing as how Tyler is still wearing diapers. We WILL get going on that potty-business. I just often feel like I am wasting my time and energy trying to force Tyler if he just isn't ready. Ugh, that's a whole other post.
Tyson's interests right now include baseball, four-wheeling, going outside, swinging, eating, drinking "duce and wata", wrestling with his brothers and chewing on his blanket. Grandma Doris has already had to sew all of the seams on the corners of his blanket because he chewed them apart.
