all about Micah

It's hard to believe he's two.  In many ways I feel like he should be much older already, but in so many ways he is TWO.  He is a lovely, creative, energetic, fun little boy, and in recent weeks he has begun to really assert himself, in classic two-year-old fashion.  I keep reminding myself that this is a stage.  He is learning that he has an opinion.  I've been trying to give him options when possible (do you want to wear this shirt today, or that shirt?), and it seems to help him feel like he has some say in his life.

his birth day

Two year old Micah can count to three.  He can put on his own boots.  He can (mostly) get undressed on his own.  He loves Winnie the Pooh.  He is learning to go pee and poo on the potty, and does so about 1x a day, with prompting.  He loves to read stories.  He is talking more and more and will repeat almost anything you say.  He will put together up to three words to make a sentence.  He loves to colour.  He still eats more than I do for breakfast.  He loves snowmen, and keeps asking if we can make one, even though we have no snow.  Every time we pray he chimes in "Bapa" (Grandpa), "Nom" (Uncle Tom), "Dadda", and sometimes many others ("O-a", "E-a", "Neremy", "Deve").  But always Bapa, Nom, and Dadda.

I love my Micah-man so very much.  More and more and more as the days go by.  It's crazy to me to think just how much he will change in this next year.  In 2011 he began to talk and I'm guessing by the end of 2012 there will be much more little boy chatter in our house.  I'm looking forward to hearing what he'll come up with.  Kids say the cutest things!

I love you, Micah!  Happy 2nd birthday!
