My 2 year old big boy!

Matthias turned 2 years old on August 10, 2011.

Yes, they spelled his name wrong on the cake...
But it still tasted good. He brought the cake to daycare and daddy joined the daycare kids for lunch and the birthday party! Matthias woke up singing happy birthday to himself and was getting mad at his daycare friends for saying happy birthday to him. I guess he didn't understand that they were saying it to him. He thought they were trying to steal his birthday.

I don't know how it happens...suddenly Matthias is done with his booster chair and he NOT sitting in it. I think daddy is convinced he's raising a football player with is strong lean lil' body so a few falls off the chair will only toughen him up I suppose. He hasn't fallen off yet. I think he was born with more coordination and athleticism than I have ever had after working to attain it. However, he still thinks he's "1" if you ask him how old he is. Oh well, we all grow up too fast anyway.

He's such a fun happy laid back toddler. He loves to sing and it is one of my favorite things to wake up to Matthias singing songs in his crib just patiently waiting for someone to come and get him. You never know what song it will be: Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E, Veggie Tales...He talks more than any other 2 year old boy I know. He loves to climb on anything and jump off. He still loves ball and sleeps with at least one ball in his crib with him. He loves to play drums just like his daddy. It is so much fun to watch him play his new drum pad that he got for his birthday. He often quietly just watches as his dramatic 3 1/2 year old sister tantrums and lives out her drama with a look of "what is her problem" on his face. But prayers are always welcome because he is also the biggest parrot and copy-catter right now so let's hope he doesn't start tantrumming like Miracle does. I wonder if he is secretly hoping for a baby brother?

So, it won't be but weeks and I will have another baby. I guess I better stop calling my 'big boy' my baby.

I love my 'gift from God' Matthias!

Happy Belated 2nd Birthday!
