Two is the new word



Somewhere, recently, Jonathan picked up the word "two." So now instead of just "cars," there are "two cars." Which is fitting, since he turned two last Friday, 9 March. We had a bit of a birthday party on Saturday - more photos to follow. But here are a few snapshots of typical Jonathan at two years old.


Climbing, climbing, exploring, climbing.


Reading. His favorite book by far is Richard Scary's "The Biggest, Best Word Book Ever" (or something like that). Here he's reading during our morning mate-tea time; other good times are morning quiet time in his room and before bed on the floor mattress in his room.


Trains are a new thing (thanks, Clara, for the perfect birthday gift!) and "choo choo" is the sound they make, of course. Here the wash tub and laundry basket stay in train formation while the weary conductor takes a contemplative break.


And bath time. Jonathan loves water, and usually can spend tons of time in the tub (but also goes through phases where he kicks and screams rather than be put in the tub - any ideas?). Recently he learned to turn on his belly and be a fish that way.

It's a fun ride these days for us as parents. How lucky we are (usually)!
