My awesome son

I just had to tell y'all about my awesome son.  He's almost two and his smarty-ness is just amazing to me.  He's starting to learn to talk.  When I was up on the stool installing hooks on the wall, he said, "Me up, me up!"  He knows possession...he gets Patrick's shoes all the time and says "Daddy shoes!"  He looooooves bananas. He used to call them "nanas", and now they are "Me nanas!"  For some reason, every vehicle is a truck.  And if he sees a bus, watch your eardrums...he will explode them with his exclamation of "BUS!!!!!"  And, if he sees Elmo...he goes nuts.  He loves Elmo.  Hence the theme of his 2nd birthday party.

His invitations....

How cute is he?  I can't stand it.  

Also very hilarious is what he does when he doesn't want to go with me or Patrick.  He will run somewhere and lie on the floor facedown....as if we can't see him!!  It's hilarious.  He'll do it in the tub when it's time to get out...don't worry, all the water is drained.  But he's so funny.

Today, I took him to the park with my new BFF, Denise.  She brought 2 of her kids, Max, 11 and Celia, 7.  They just loved Kellen and he had a blast, especially with Max.  AND, he was so much more brave than usual!  He went down slides and was climbing up everything.  He was having a blast.  Then, all the kids were collecting acorn tops for a good 30 minutes while Denise and I talked.  Funny what amuses them at ANY age.

I love that he understands most of what we are saying to him.  At school, also, the teacher told me that "He is VERY smart! He knows all the letters and he knows the pictures"  I was ONE PROUD MAMA!  I read alphabet books to him all the time, and tell him what things are all the time, and try to describe everything we see and what we are doing.  Now...Patrick today told him to "get your cuppy".  CUPPY?  What the hell?  It's a cup.  Please don't have him going around calling it a cuppy.  

Well, tomorrow I'm bringing him to church...so let's see how that goes!!
