I'm not sure that we had any idea what we were in for as we headed to the hospital to have Chase, but I can honestly say that he is the best thing that we've ever done.
At 2 years old, Chase is:
-Running, hopping like a bunny, jumping off things and landing on his bum (on purpose), jumping on Mommy, jumping on Daddy, and all around an active little boy
-Opinionated about his clothes. This includes wearing his rain coat no matter what the weather. Additionally, he is averse to getting dressed at all and thinks that rolling around the bed while we try and get him dressed is the greatest game ever!
-Loves to be outside- diggin' and watering and blowing bubbles.
-Has his first skinned knee! He fell down outside at daycare and got a "boo-boo" that he likes to point out to us. The only problem is that sometimes he shows us the right knee and sometimes the left knee (it's on his right knee). It can't hurt that badly. I'm sure there will be many more to come!
-Hilarious. On Sunday morning (at 6:30am when I was trying to entertain him while half-awake) he was playing on the iPad. One of the apps he likes is a matching game that said "Where's the submarine?" And Chase replied, "Submarine. Some are red. Some are blue!" So funny.
-Strong-willed. Chase knows what he wants to do and there's not much to deter him from doing it! For example, if he wants to play outside when he gets home from daycare, there is not much we can do except let him. Sure, we try to convince him to have a snack or give us time to change clothes, but it's a struggle. He's also throwing full-on tantrums with crying and writhing on the floor. Awesome!
-Loves looking at pictures and videos of his family. He's good at naming everyone- even those he doesn't see very often! His favorites are "Owen-Melia" and Addy.
-Climbing and playing with all of the baby's stuff. His bunny has been in the baby's carseat since Saturday and he will not let us take it out. Tonight he was hiding in the bassinet attachment to the baby's stroller, which was on the floor in the nursery. He's sort of interested in the baby books, at least moreso than the last few weeks.
-Loves trucks! Diggers and dumps are his favorite. He sees them when we are driving and yells "Daddy, digger!" Friday mornings when the garbage and recycling trucks come, we stop everything and watch them out the window. Lately he's into "ne-naw, ne-naw" or firetrucks.
-Loves talking on the phone. But only to Nonnie and Mommy. With Nonnie he doesn't usually get past "Hi, Nonnie. Watcha doin'?" With Mommy, he tells me how his day was (fun) and what he did all day (played).
