Sweet And Silly

Dear Marcus,

You are so stinkin' funny.  You make me laugh all of the time.  I think it's because you know you're funny so you do things just to make us all laugh.  You especially make Jordan laugh. You'll make some crazy noise with your cup over your mouth and he'll start giggling.  You will keep going just to keep him laughing.  You are an entertainer for sure!!

You are definately a people person.  If anyone, especially a female!, shows you attention you become attached.  You will follow me all around the house and you love your friends.  Your best little buddy is Isaac at church.  He is just as happy and joyful as you, so it's no wonder you are drawn to each other.  You love all of your friends, though.  I'll list them one by one as we get ready to go to church and you just smile as you think about each one.  You will say "Mama, I had fun with Isaac".  Of course, it sounds more like "Ma - I a fu Isaac"....but I know what you're saying!!

You talk a lot and it's kind of fun being your translator.  But there are some times that I just don't know what you are trying to say!  Your voice is so sweet.  You are the perfect combination of rough/tumble and sweet heart.  You need to marry some girl who loves hugs, that's for sure!!

I'm so thankful for you.  You have made our family so much fun and joyful!

I love you,

Mom

Only Two

Dear Marcus,

You are such a sweet little treasure.  I mean, a sweet big little treasure!  You are so tall, little mister!  I forget that you are JUST TWO!  Sometimes, you'll do something that frustrates me and I have to remember that you are JUST TWO and acting like a normal (actually less crazy than normal) two year old.  People will ask you a question and you just look at them because you don't understand, and I have to explain that you are JUST TWO!

You have really matured lately though.  You are starting to talk more and have become as silly as your brother, which is perfect...because you have to be silly to survive in this house!!  You have this great smile when you do something funny that says "Did you see that?  I'm hilarious, right?"  You have your moments, but overall you just make me smile all day.  You are so sweet.  You want to be right with me, which is great most of the time.  You say "Sit - i - Mama" and crawl in my lap.  You greet me in the morning with a big smile and hug.

The only thing that's different lately is that you have started skipping naps which is a little bit frustrating sometimes when you're really tired.  But, we've gotten used to it.  It's nice to be able to go grocery shopping whenever we want!

I'm hoping that since we've moved, settled in and are in a good routine, that I can update this more often!!

Until next time!

Love,

Mom
