2-Year-Old Thatcher

He loves Super Balls!

The little bouncy balls you get from the quarter machine at the store are like gold to Thatcher. 

He is never without one in his hand and sometimes he will carry around 4 or 5.  He sleeps with them, eats with them and won't leave the house without one.  He likes to play "pass it" with them, tossing them back and forth with us.  He will scream bloody murder if he drops one while we are out and I have been known to chase these darn balls down the street to stop a full on melt down.

RAIN BOOTS!  He got these rain boots from his buddy Connor when he first started walking and they were WAY too big but he would still wear them.  They are now just fitting him and they are the first thing he puts on in the morning if he doesn't have them on already, yep that's right, he sometimes sleeps with them on!

He is super easy (most days) to get down for a nap.  You just have to give him a book to read

 and about 10 minutes later he is OUT.

He is ALL boy!  He loves digging and dinosaurs and cars and balls

and trucks and airplanes -- complete opposite of how his sister was at this age.

 He stands up the entire time he eats dinner.  It is a habit we can't seem to break.  As soon as we tell him to sit down on his bottom, two seconds later he is standing in his chair....

PAJAMAS!  He is constantly in them.  It is a battle to get him to take off his jammies.  He loves them so much because his real clothes don't have trucks, dinos or trains on them.  So most days it is rain boots and p.j.'s all day. 

Bumps and bruises and black eyes.  This poor kid is rarely without some sort of mark on his body.  He is constantly falling off the couch, off the table, off the bed....... :(

Thatcher is such a loving boy.  Always asking for "bisous" and hugs and when he wants us to hold him he says in the cutest voice with his arms stretched out, "hold you Mommy" or "hold you Daddy".

And this picture pretty much sums up Thatcher perfectly!

We love that you are one of a kind Thatchie Boy!
