Terrific or Terrible Two's!?!?

It's been over a year since we brought Owen home, and he is now 2 and becoming his own little member of the family. He knows he has 2 grandma's and gets so excited when he goes to visit them. The minute he gets there he is all talk about his day and who knows what. He is learning words and sentences so fast. He can actually count to 10 all by himself. He tries to do the sign language numbers he learned at 1st Step Story Time at the library, but doesn't get them all. At Mom & Dad Gordon's 40th anniversary he got to watch the lady at church play the piano, so he is all about playing the piano on his toy table, and Grandma Downing's child size baby grand. It's very hard to keep up with his imagination and learning, but we do our best. And it is so true that they only have an attention span of their age plus 2 mins. But then we have our days where he tests us and pushes the limit, and yes if he doesn't get his way or does not have one of our full attention, it is TEMPER TANTRUM TIME! Slowly but surely getting passed that with a little few tricky techniques of our own that throw him off and keep him guessing also! So much Fun! But it is nothing but love, he no longer shys away from hugs and kisses, and loves to snuggle and read books on the rocker, or with his big black bear.
