Profile of a 2.5 year old:
Interests: baseball, basketball, soccer, guitars, make believe
Enjoys: being outside all the time, kissing and hugging on Ellie, eating snacks
Turn-Offs: losing to Zeke at anything, being told no, leaving places before he is ready
Vices: still waking up at crazy hours, hitting in anger, throwing things when mad
Strengths: super snuggler, so funny, loves to help
Favorites of my 2 year old;
Foods: any fruit, fruit snacks, cheese, carrots
Songs: The Robot Song, Hosanna Rock, the Doxology
Shows: he asks for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but doesn't really watch it. He will watch Curious George or Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He follows Zeke's lead and talksa bout Sid the Science Kid or Super Why, but doesn't really watch them
Books: library books, but no real favorite
Toys: sports stuff (golf clubs and balls, baseballs and bats, soccer), cars, the kitchen- he constantly makes us stuff
Activities: anything outside, writing, cooking with Mama
Words:
Ben keeps us on our toes by his funny phrasing and also his made up words. Lately everything is "WAKADO!" He also talks about stealing sunshines (from "You are my sunshine") or shadows (from Peter Pan). He enjoys being silly and calling everyone by different names, Fred is a fave around here
How Ben is like...
daddy- loves anything athletic and outside, must.eat.as.soon.as.awake, such a TARHEEL
mommy- so grumpy when he wakes up, quick temper :-/
Treasuring Details of our 2 year old Ben
* early riser, if he wakes before the 5:00 hour we can typically get him back to sleep in bed with us, but most mornings he is up around 5:45

* started going pee pee standing up to be like "Evan and Brayden"

Go Tarheels!
Very independent, which results in lots of messes
quite the charmer
loves drawing or writing letters to people
loves his PawPaw and asks to see him a lot
Ben is getting better about playing on his own
but still prefers to play with his two best friends
