Terrific Twos

Branson boy, I haven't done a monthly post in so long, I might not remember how! There is just so much to say and never enough time to put it all into one post. You are one of the most terrific people I know and I am so blessed to get to spend so much time with you. I love watching you grow up and into the little boy that God designed for you to be. You are energetic, fun, opinionated, curious, funny, mischiveous, and very good looking! :)


You love to "do it, Branson" or "do it myself, Momma!" but you never venture too far away. You love knowing that Daddy and I are right behind you cheering you on. And cheer we do! This birthday was a hard one for me because I can't deny that my toddler is turning into a little boy, but things just seem to get more and more fun as you get older.


We love to laugh at the funny things you say, which makes you say them even more. You love to laugh and make us laugh.

You are so curious and constantly ask, "Mommy, what doing?" over and over. You haven't started asking "why?" yet, but when it comes, I am sure it will come over and over and over! (Your teachers at daycare said that you were asking "why" a lot one day, but I haven't heard it at home...they must be dreaming..hehe!)

The basic care things like eating and sleeping come so easy now that it is crazy to think that a little over a year ago, your sleep habits were all we could think about! You will eat almost anything, but definately prefer ice cream and if we ask you where you want to go eat, you always respond, "Eat McDonna's." I agree that they brainwash at an early age!

You still take a great nap in the afternoon from about 12 to 2:30. During growth spurts, it can last up to 3.5 hours, which is very nice for Mommy. :) You get up around 7 and go to bed around 8. I am trying to ease up on being a schedule Nazi and I think we are doing alright.

You LOVE to "run faaaaaasssst" and watch "lighty keen go faaaaasst." (Translation: "Lightning Mcqueen goes fast.") You are definately your father's child with a slight obsession for things that go fast. :)

Your Daddy and I have worked hard the past 6 months or so on being consistent about disipline and requiring you to obey. We have our moments, but all in all, you are a pretty good kid. You obey well and when you dont, it's nothing that a short time-out won't fix. :) You seem to get your feelings hurt pretty easily and if we raise our voice, your little bottom lip sticks out so far as you start to cry. Sad, but really cute at the same time. You know how to obey and really want to make us happy. Sometimes it is just hard for a little guy to remember all the rules!

You are the light of my days, Branson, and I constantly thank God for the gift of being your Mommy.

I love you, little guy!
