The Joys of Having a Two Year-Old...
Drew has been acting like a two year old lately. Sometimes it's a joy and often times it's exhausting! Today, at the same time, the exhausting part turned in to a joy. You see, he has such a vivid imagination and has been pretend playing a lot. He'll pick up a bag and fill it with books, toys, etc and announce to me that he's going to school. I'll kiss him goodbye and tell him to obey his teacher and off he goes pretending he's at school. He also pretends he's a firefighter (his current obsession is any thing fire truck). The other day he put on a toy hard hat as his helmet and wanted his firefighters jacket. So we went in his room and got out a zip up sweatshirt and he wore it all morning "fighting fires" that popped up around the house with his imaginary fire hose. It is so fun to watch! The other side of being two is the meltdown that can occur at any minute over the simplest little thing and can often last for up to an hour....
