Almost 2!

We're just a few weeks away of Graham turning the big 2! He's learning so much and talking A LOT! Miss Ashley (his teacher at school) tells me he's one of the more social ones so they put him with a group of kids that are the same so they could carry a conversation and have fun with each other. I'm glad to find that my son is the "social" one (just like his daddy in law school, haha)!

Since he's almost 2, I'll let you guys catch up on what he's doing lately:

1. He knows all the colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple (his favorite color at the moment), Black, and White.
2. His best friends names are: Hunter, Ethan, and Piper
3. He absolutely adores Elmo and some of the Sesame Streets Characters: Abby, Big Bird, Ernie
4. Loves to help mommy and daddy with whatever we ask: Taking things to the trash, handing me a hammer, sweep the floor with a broom, putting up his toys...
5. Still loves puppy, he goes everywhere with him. Though teachers at school have told me he can go without puppy pretty the whole day (puppy sits in his cubby)
6. His favorite word right now is - NO
7. he says bless you after you sneeze.
8. He knows the following people by pictures: mommy, daddy, aunt Gloria (aunt ge-ya), uncle cole, uncle Carl, ah-ma (max's mom), ah-gong (Philip and my dad), gran-pa and mimi (Pam).
9. He can spell his name!
10. Everything is in the quantity of 2 (ie how many apples do you have? the answer is always 2)
11. He can count to 10
12. Loves to dance and sing
13. He will come hug me and follow it with I love you, mommy.
14. He knows most of his ABC's.
15. He knows who Santa is but is still afraid of him
16. He loves to hit Millie and Boswell (in his eyes he's petting them)

We're now planning his second birthday and hope it will be a good one for him. Can you guess what the theme of the party will be? Yep, ELMO! :)
