As usual, Joey celebrated his birthday once with his classmates at pre-school, twice at home with friends and neighbors, and thrice for a summer BBQ birthday bash with more friends and family . Happy birthday Joey. We love you!!!
Joey's 2nd Bday 2008 |
At two years old, Joey is such a boy now. I mean wasn't he a baby just last year? Oh yeah, he was. But the trouble he gets himself into and how he instigates a fight with Jake are so typical of the "terrible twos." Maybe we tolerated Jake's terrible twos because he was our first born, but we find ourselves saying "no" a lot to Joey and sending him to "time-outs" on a frequent occurrence. It doesn't help that he started being "tinky" since he was only 13-15 months and the whining and crying are growing tiresome.
But as his Lola pointed out - is to consider the alternative. If he wasn't acting his age as a boisterous, problem child, than something is wrong. We'd rather he be himself, than worrying about his health or otherwise. He is, after all, a 2 year old boy who wants nothing more in his world but to eat, sleep, and have fun. Hmm, don't we all want that simplicity as adults, too?
