Terrible Two?

I can't believe my baby is 2!  He seems so much more boy than baby now.  He got a potty chair for his birthday--we're all about practicality here!  Both Owen and Miles (on their own) treated Graham to something special today.  Miles used his pool snack money and bought Graham a ring pop to eat during his T-ball game tonight.  Owen took money out of his birthday stash and bought Graham a shaved iced treat tonight.  Graham was happier with these simple gestures than any toy.  At age 2 he:
  • Repeats anything you tell him to say.  Says "yes" (pronounced "yesssth"), "scared/scary", and "Mommy, hold you" (meaning he wants me to hold him) all of the time.  However, when you ask him his name, he usually goes by "Miles."
  • Attached to "Blankie" and two Mickey Mouse stuffed toys.
  • Could drink endless bottles of Gatorade.
  • Rides his scooter, kicks, runs, plays basketball, etc. just like his big brothers.
  • Still sucks his right thumb like a champ.
  • Loves cantaloupe, milk, Nutri Grain bars, and ketchup.
  • Runs to Owen or Miles if he gets in trouble with one of his parents.
  • Still thinks Mommy is #1, although Grandma Jean sometimes moves into the lead when we visit.

 Enjoying his icee at Miles' T-ball game.  He actually had two since it was his birthday.
 Yes, this is Stinky Blankie.  He usually asks for you to put it on his head, shepherd style.
We're bringing the baby back.  Owen got this for Christmas when he was 18 months old.  It's been packed away, and he's been into babies at school, so we pulled it out in honor of his birthday.
