2 years and 8 months

James was feeling left out as I took photos of Logan.  In fact James was asleep when I started the process...by process I mean I thought - oh, James is asleep, Logan is happy, now is a great time for pictures.  I got Logan all set up and James woke up.  So...I had a BIG helper.  He was sweet and a little TOO helpful but we managed and got a few photos of Logan.  James wanted to have his photo taken too (of course) so the following are his best shots.  HA

Oh my, this boy keeps me on my toes.

He talks non-stop

He is so sweet and then so mean and then so sweet

I know he knows when he has done something he shouldn't when before I can tell him that he needs to go to time out he says, "I don't want to go to time out."

His sense of smell is over acting and everywhere we go he says, "What stinks in here?  Did you fart?"  It was especially fun when he asked me that today during stake conference.  

I should mention that this voice only has a LOUD setting.

He loves his friends, he hates to share his toys.

He is a super picky eater and then sometimes not at all.  So weird.

He is very observant and has a REALLY good memory.

He doesn't want to use the potty yet so we haven't pushed it.  I hope that this changes soon.  Those big boy poopies are so gross.  

He sleeps in his big/little boy bed (toddler bed) and does great. 

He used to wake up at 5:30 in the morning so we got smart and got him a night light (Night light on a timer) that tells him when its time to wake up, which is 8:00am.  At that point he knocks on his door (which has a toddler proof knob on it) and says "MOM, come get me."  Its working out well for both of us so far.

I love watching him figure things out and get excited when he gets it. 

He gets frustrated when he doesn't get something in the first few tries.

He hits and has now started pinching and pushing.

He loves to yell at his baby brother when he is sleeping.  

Oh my can you tell this boy is 2 years old and 8 months???
