More On Being 2

In addition....

As you have read in previous posts, AJ has some great friends! His best friend is Dax- otherwise known as Daxiedooooo! Dax is 4 months older than AJ which I think is great because Dax teaches AJ so many things! It's also very cool for me to see what Dax is doing and know that AJ isn't far off from doing those same things. They love to give each other hugs and kisses, pat each other on the back, play in the pool together, go to the zoo, steal each others toys and just have a lot of fun. AJ talks about Dax and his mommy ALL of the time! I feel very lucky to have Dax and Ki in our lives- Ki has become such a wonderful friend and is incredibly supportive.

Speaking of playing in the pool with Dax, AJ is FISH! He absolutely LOVES the water this summer. He has been a fan of the water since we first took him swimming at 3 months old, but he just loves it more now. We go to the pool a lot- sometimes to our community pool and sometimes to my moms community pool- and AJ loves to play with toys, play with bugs and his new thing is jumping off the side of the pool into the water. There have been a handful of times when he'll jump to me without holding my hands- he is SO brave! He has no problem going under the water and has the greatest smile each time he comes up! Such a happy boy.

AJ has also become quite the little camper- he and Jason have been camping a lot already this summer and from what I hear, he's loving it. AJ always comes back telling me about how he played with "the guys", slept in a tent, had a fire, played with flashlights and played in the dirt. I really am so happy that AJ and Jason enjoy doing this together. It's great boy time and they will be have awesome memories of this in the future.

Little Camper!

The time has come to be very careful about things I say...because they will be repeated! I'm not a big fan of cursing, but let's be honest- it happens. AJ is at the age now where not only is he a human sponge, but he can also repeat MANY of the things he hears. The last thing I want is for us to be walking down the aisle at the grocery store and have him saying something completely embarressing and knowing he learned it from me!
