The Terrible Twos

OK OK - everyone said it was coming but I didn't believe them. It was true though - we have entered the TERRIBLE TWOS!!!!! We went to dinner Saturday night and Jeremiah wanted to take one of his toy trains in to the restaurant and was told "No". He then proceeded to throw himself down in the parking lot, the restaurant and out of the chair at the table! His Dad finally took him outside to cool off and once he apparently figured out he wasn't going to get his way (and the food was at the table) he pointed back into the restaurant and said "Mama" and pulled his Dad along and into the restaurant. He had another episode on Sunday when he didn't want to leave his cousins Chris and Heather and his Uncle and Aunt Tony and Lesa. It is quite something really - to see someone so small get so mad! We are getting multiple pieces of advice on how best to handle this - please feel free to submit anything that you feel is pertinent!

Welcome to our Blog

We finally have a blog and hopefully can now start adding new pictures and video. Jeremiah has turned 2 and is growing like a weed! We just found out he weighs 32 lbs and stands 36 inches tall! He is in the 75th percentile!



Life is exciting in our house as he is learning new things everyday and is so inquisitive! He seems to like toys that allow him to build - LEGOS are a favorite (except for Mom and Dad who seem to end up picking them up frequently). We are working on that though and he is getting to be pretty good about picking up his toys each evening.



I have been put on notice that my job will be ending March 9th - so we are praying about that a lot at our house. For now we have no plan other than to put it in God's hands and see where He leads us in this next adventure. I enjoyed the time off I had with Jeremiah so much last year I am actually looking forward to having some more quality time with him.



We went out to dinner last night and its so much fun to watch Jeremiah - he is going to be a politician I do believe. When we walk in to a restaurant he waves at everyone and tells them "Hello" and when we leave the restaurant he waves at everyone and either blows them a kiss or tells them "Bye Bye".



He had an ear infection and is recovering from that but otherwise he seems to be happy and healthy and we are blessed. A year ago I could not have imagined this is what life would be like!
