Owen is no longer "almost twoooo," like he continues to tell everyone. Our little guy had his second birthday this week and both Brett and I got real emotional just thinking about how fast he has grown, and how we want this time in our lives to slow down a bit. Wishful thinking.
Owen is such a sweet boy, he has no meaness in him and tries really hard to be my helper. He loves eggies,toast and juice for breakfast and a bowl of chicken noodle soup or a sandwich with ham tomatoes and cheese would be his preferred lunch. Now if you happen to ask the little guy what he would like to eat most likely he'll tell you "I don't knoooow" followed by what he actually would like to eat. The I don't know response has been around for a few months now, its cute but a bit frustrating. We have a pretty set routine for our week and when we get out of sync he can tell. Mondays, Tuesdays with his Daddy, they are two peas in a pod and while a whole lot of clean up clean up doesn't happen my boys ALWAYS have a great time together. Wednesdays and Thursday mornings with me. He likes to go to Target with me and have a little popcorn:) can't beat the $1.50! And Thursday mornings are story time with Ms. Jamie. Owen has been going since he was 6 months old and knows all the songs and can't wait for his stamp. While my work schedule changes weekly friday are always a toss up but thanks to family helping out Owen always has someone to watch and play with him. He would have a basketball, football soccer ball, footy, golf ball, raquetball and a baseball with him at all times if possible. He would race just about anyone with a " mark set GOOOOOOO" and " I run fasttt mama dat way."
While at the park a few days ago the weather made a turn for the worst and Owen and Brett left a bit too soon for Owen. So Brett took him to burger king and a whole new world of fun was opened up. He loved the indoor playground but needed a good scrubbing afterward. I am making a list of all the silly things he says, and new ones come up daily. Tonight he yelled down the hall to me ---"tome on mama, prayers and night night now!" He loves to sing songs and dance. He will sing I love to see the temple, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam and I am a Child of God all before closing his eyes and while in the car he tells me to " turn musik on mama loud!"We are planning to go to disneyland in a few weeks for his birthday and if asked he will tell you whom he would like to see while there---Woody/buzzz( all one word), Mickey Mouse, and Pooh bear. I am so glad, I think seeing all of these characters is do-able.
We love our Owen sooo much and I am greateful for the blessing he is in our lives and the lives of so many others. He truly is my sunshine boy!
