Tayo at 2 years

Tayo, my little man, you bring so much happiness to our life. 

You have a smile and giggle that are contagious.  Sometimes you just break into a silly laugh just to make us laugh at you.  You love to be tickled which makes you laugh and laugh.

You are my little snuggler.  When you wake up you love to snuggle on my shoulder and rock.

You are a boy through and through.  You love to play in the dirt and sand.  Your favorite toys are trucks, trains, and tractors.  You're constantly pushing one of those around.  You also love stuffed animals; you like to pet them and then make them attack us.  If you are ever seen with a baby doll, we know you are just trying to drive your sister crazy.

Which brings me to my next point. You love to bug your sister.  You know just what pushes her buttons; whether it's "touching her", taking her things, opening doors she wants shut or closing doors she wants open.  You don't really ever want to do what she does.  You like to do your own thing.  She is actually the one that copies you. 

You are still a thumb sucker and you love your fuzzy blankets with the white bias strip on them.

 You still don't have many words, though you are pretty good at jabbering and trying to get us to understand.  The words you say are: dada, ma, tractor, yeah, juice, cheese, stuck, please, and oh-no.  You still sign for more, all done, please, and milk.

Your favorite time of day is when daddy comes home.  You scream "dada" and run in an almost dancing run strait for him.  He is your favorite person.  Once daddy dropped you off in Primary with me.  You started crying like he was leaving you with a stranger.  I know you love me too and your my little buddy, but you have a very strong relationship with daddy.
