Little Man's Birthday!

It's the "Little Man's" Birthday today!  He's 2!

Here are 5 reasons we love him!

1.  He is full of energy and is so much fun to be around.  Maybe it's because he's not our kid and we don't have any kids, but Gordon and I love to play whatever he's into at the time.  Right now it's "hides", Thomas the Train, and Toy Story.
2.  He is brilliant.  A genius really.  His memory is unbeatable.  Tell him something once, he'll remember it (even weeks later).  Show him something once, he knows it there and will ask for it later.  He has been talking in full sentences for awhile.  We can easily have a two way conversation with him.  He says 'please', 'thank you', and 'you're welcome' without being told.  He loves to have books read to him and point out every image and tell you what it is.  He knows our names (and has for some time) and we love it when he mimics us.  I have never known a toddler like him.  He's one of a kind.
3.  He is absolutely adorable.  Even when he does things he not suppose to do, he's just too cute!
4.  He's a sweetie.  He'll tell you he loves you and give you hugs.  And we don't need to trick him into it anymore by asking him to "lay your head on my shoulder" for a hug or snuggle.  He'll even run up to us in such excitement when he see us just to say hello.
5.  He makes us excited for our own kids.


Happy Birthday "H"!  We love you a lot!
