Brooks is 2

Really can't believe this little man is 2.  He has changed so much in the last month or so and I am realizing more and more that he is no longer my baby!

• You LOVE doors, drawers, and anything that latches.  You are content to stand in the car and buckle and unbuckle your carseat.
• Shoes ... shoes ... shoes.  You love to play with the shoe basket and take them off and on.  You love to wear my shoes which sometimes worries your father.  You also love your rain boots and your brothers cowboy boots.
• As all siblings are, you are so very different from your brother.  You are fearless and more rough and tumble than your brother is.
• Speaking of bubba, you love your bubba and love to try and do whatever he is doing.
• You love your momma, but you are a daddy's boy at heart.  Most weekend mornings you can be found in bed watching "WiWi" aka "Wiggles" with your dada as soon as you wake up.
• Highchairs and booster seats highly offend you.  You are pretty sure you are way too old to be sitting in one.
• Playgrounds are nerve wracking for your mother.  You climb quickly to the highest point and insist on going down the highest slide.
• Your vocabulary is rapidly expanding!  I understand what you want more and more and there is less and less screaming. :)
• This little piggy, patty cake, Zaccheus, this little light of mine, Wiggles songs, and God is so Good.  You love to sing and clap!
• Redirecting you is almost impossible! Once you get your mind set on something, you are hard to redirect.  Disciplining you is different than your brother and often laugh at us when we do discipline.
• You have done wonderful at BSF this year ... even sitting still for Bible Study on occasion.
• You are so silly and I love that about your personality.
• Sometimes I think you and your bubba have your own little language and it makes my heart smile to see you two playing and laughing together!

 Happy Birthday my sweet boy!  Praying that this year is full of more adventures and learning.  I am confident that God will use your determination for some great things one day.

You are rarely bruise or scratch free

 You so badly want to ride bubba's bike!
