I LOVE 2 years, 8 months

Alright. Killian is 2 years and 8 months (well on Monday), but I have to say that I LOVE this age. Yes, it's filled with public displays of tantrums (which occur quite frequently lately) (and occurring as I type this, because he's OVER tired but doesn't want to be in bed), and a new recent development, a sadness during ANY transition from house to ____ (fill in the blank for destination). Though the new development's not surprising, since he goes back and forth between his dad's and my house, and his grand parents and daycare, almost daily. And he barely sees me anymore with school and shared placement..... it's a very hard time right now. But, besides these lovely parts of his personality, I STILL love his age. Why? He's FINALLY talking. I mean, full sentences, comes up with his OWN sentences, talking.

And let me tell you something. This little boy is HILARIOUS. The things that come out of his mouth. man. Example:

I was deathly sick this week. UGH, I was so sick. So I have vitamin C drops to suck on. Killian, of course, became interested in these, and was investigating how I sucked on them. He asks me, "Spit that into my paw mama?" (yes, he calls his hands paws). So I did. Then he says: "Can I suck it mama?" Me: "Yes, but DO NOT swallow it. Killian. You will choke if you swallow it. Suck it only." Killian: "Ok mama. I suck it only." (pops the drop into his mouth. His eyes get big as he sucks away. Then he stops sucking, looks into my eyes, and swallows that drop!) me: "Killian! I told you not to swallow it!" Killian: "Don't worry mama! It's going down down down and I will pop that orange drop out when I make yellow on the potty."

Oh my son is too smart. But everyday more and more hilarious and smart comments come out of his little mouth. I've started a journal that I keep open on our breakfast bar, and I write down all the funny things he says as he says them. I want to remember all these things that make my days when I'm old and gray :)

**Side note, more of a note for me: This week we didn't do much, besides see Tangled in the theaters, run errands, and compost. Killian helped me compost on Wednesday and Friday, but only liked helping on Wednesday, because it was so cold today. He's going to be SUCH a great helper this spring/summer in the garden :)***
