Two years ago today our trio became a quartet with the arrival of RTR. It's hard to believe he's two years old. He's really blossomed in the past few weeks, adding more and more words to his vocabulary and doing more sign language too. He has so many ways of saying Mama, all communicating his mood and needs--there's the one calling out for me to get him out of his crib, the one that says he's being disappointed, and the tone that says, "Hey, you need to come here NOW." It reminds me of that old radio recording of a man and a woman just saying "Marsha" and "John" back and forth but with different emphasis and emotion.
He also likes showing us his funny side. He's developed quite the sense of humor, figuring out his timing and looking for our reactions. Along with that comes his games of pretend, especially pretending he's a puppy. He crawls on all fours, pants and sticks out his tongue. Pretty charming.
To celebrate his birthday, we had some preschool friends over to play this morning and then tonight went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. We could have gotten his $5 for free if I had signed him up for the OSF's birthday club. I also baked some cupcakes, but didn't get them frosted. I'm sure it will be just as fun to blow out the candles tomorrow. Happy Birthday RTR.
