Baby Carrot

Everyone warned me when Garrett turned two that things were going to get harder. But I have to say that on most days we have a great time. He is turning into a little man. I love it! He has a sense of humor, you can have a real conversation with him and he is filled with so much love. I was warned of the temper tantrums, the battle of wills, the potty training. All of which we have but I was not prepared of my heart melting at unsolicited kisses, Garrett telling me that he loves me and rolling on the floor laughing with him. Now don’t get me wrong we still have our bad days. I am not just saying a little disagreement here and there. Imagine sticking your head in a blender then stubbing your toe and then you might have an idea of how I feel during the bad times. But we have many more good days than bad, especially the last few days. Blame it on the cooler weather or him getting older but whatever it is it is all good.

Take last night for example. Branden was in San Francisco so it was just the two of us. We went outside after nap and replanted our ficus and played for a while. Then we came inside ate dinner and went back to play some more. To make it even better the ice cream truck came by and we each got a treat. We sat in the driveway in chairs and ate our delicious dessert and talked about airplanes and birds. After we finished his bedtime routine and he went to sleep right away. Good times.

I hope that I am not jinxing myself here but if I am, oh well. It was good while it lasted.
