Because I have to work this weekend, I was able to take a half day today...HOORAY!!! I am meeting G for a lunch date (have to take the dates when we can get them), and then I will pick up Sawyer from school. Don't know what we are going to do yet. I might hit the scrapbook store to see if they have any copies of the Trendsetters book that I am in...actually, maybe I will do that BEFORE picking up Sawyer. He has turned into one of those whirling dervish children in scrapbook stores...
I was doing some searches on 2 year old milestones, and I think my guy is kind of ahead of the curve. He has been singing entire songs since he was about 26 months (we have him on video in August signing the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle). There were a lot of other things too. AND, I did an online height predictor....it said 6 feet 5 inches!!!! I don't doubt it, the kid looks much bigger than 2. It is starting to make me remember the problems that my parents had with Eric. Everyone always expected more out of him because he was so tall. If Sawyer is as tall as Eric, it will make for pretty funny family portraits :).
I can't believe it, but I am already thinking about Christmas. I want to get a jump on it this year...maybe get things or make things for extended family too. I was thinking about making a dress up chest for Sawyer....maybe getting Halloween costume accessories on clearance in a couple of weeks. I am not sure if he will be into it, but I really want to get him things that will fuel his imagination...he seems to have a pretty active! Last week, he spent about 30 minutes coming up to me with his little plastic wagon, and saying "I am going to the punkin patch to pick apples mama, I'll be right back". And then he would move forward a few feet, bend down and pick up his pretend apples, and then come back to me and say "I'm back, momma!". A couple of times, he bent down, picked up an "apple", and told me to "try it". He also added umbrellas to the inaginary pumpkin patch trip, and started walking around holding up his "umbrella" as he was pulling his wagon.
Last night, he sat down on the carpet, and quizzed his Daddy and I on flashcards. His teachers told us that he LOVES doing flashcards (this started in his 1 year old class), and that he is a wiz at them. So, he held them just like Miss Candace, and said "now what is this, momma?" He had a VERY hard time waiting for me to answer,...he beat me to the punch most times, but I was able to answer first a couple of times, and when I answered wrong, he was in hysterics. "No, Momma, that is a dog, not broccoli!!"
This is my newest layout. I have been working on Hillarie's family tree all week, and of course I have a million ideas for layouts floating through my head...but as soon as I scrapbook for myself, I am sure I won't be able to.
