It's My Birthday & I'm Turning TWO!
I can't believe today is my baby's birthday! Sniff. Sniff. But he isn't a baby anymore - at least not according to him. He says, "Aya toddlah, Mama!" Can you believe it? He doesn't want me to call him a baby anymore. Pardon me, while I cry for a little bit. Ha - what he doesn't realize (and my secret consolation) is that he will always be my baby. Even when I am 100 and he is 65 he shall be my precious baby boy.
It's amazing the changes that he's been through this year. One change that we are very grateful for is that he hasn't had nearly as many ear infections as he did the year before. Whew! We are definitely glad to be moving past those agonizing months. Even though he's a lot healthier, he's still on the small end for his weight. Of course, strangers must point this out to me and compare his size to another child they know. Gotta love strangers. I just love the look on their face when he opens his mouth to speak. "Oh my. He talks? How old did you say he is again? He talks more than most kids his age." Yeah, dear stranger never judge a kid by his size.
See the little girl in the stripped green/blue shirt. These two are inseparable, seriously. She is 4 mos older than Tar so she was moved to the 2 yo room a few months before him. She cried daily after the move, so they ended up putting her back in the 1 yo room (with her parents' approval) and moved the two of them together.
Grandpa (the Hubster's Dad) came all the way from Oregon earlier this week to celebrate Tar's birthday. The two of them are adorable together. Tar follows him around like a cute little puppy dog. The other day Grandpa was using the bathroom and Tar sat outside the closed door waiting for Grandpa to come out. "Grandpa come play. I here Grandpa, wanna go play?" Poor Grandpa can't get away from my lil guy. It's a good thing Grandpa loves every minute of it.

In November he officially moved to the 2 year old room at daycare. He has actually been going to the 2 year old room part-time since the summer, but for state requirements he couldn't fully transition over there until a month before his birthday. He absolutely loves being in the 2 year old room. They have a really neat program and he has learned quite a bit. What I love is that they encourage children to learn at their own pace. Tar has taken to learning like a fish to water and they never hold him back so he doesn't get bored.See the little girl in the stripped green/blue shirt. These two are inseparable, seriously.

Happy Birthday to your lil'man. It's my little guy's birthday today too.
W O W....he is sooo bright!!!!! He is going to be a genius!!!! Happy Birthday! Your son is tooo adorable!!!!
What a doll! He reminds me of our 5-year-old grandson Sydney. Syd is very small for his age-even smaller than his super-preemie cousin who is also five. But smart as a whip and they lucked out to find a daycare that taught him they way your little guy is being taught. Now he's a well-adjusted kindergartner and is excelling. It shows we shouldn't hold kids back. I'm sure that's why so many home-schooled kids are so advanced.
Wish Tar a happy birthday for me.
Wow, he's a big boy now.
Happy Birthday sweet boy, You are so smart. We miss you so much.
thanks for the follow on Twitter. Your boy is soooo cute! My Master P turned 2 at the end of October...And I know what you mean about the curls. People always have their hands up in his head LOL
Happy Belated birthday to your adorable baby. They do grow up so fast.
Your child has a wonderful grandpa. I yearn so much for a grandparent who would be involved in my kids life.
They love to learn at this age and should be allowed to just get all they can!
He is precious.

I'm loving the photo of him smiling. Oh he's so adorable *kiss, kiss*
Aaaaw, happy birthday beautiful boy! I swear, he and his brother are poised to do some wonderful things for this world with their smarts!! It is a bit sniffle-inducing to think that your baby is now officially a big boy!! You can't even say his age in months anymore -- that's when you know!
Awww....he is so cute! Happy Birthday!
I remember when he was in the womb. ;)
That was really an enjoyable post and video.
You're blessed!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
