Champs is a total song-bird. He spends so much of his time while he is playing around the house and outside or just in his crib when he first wakes up SINGING! He LOVES to sing. Some of his favorite songs are:
#1 and most sung: Old McDonald had a Farm
ABC's (He sings them allll the way through to "Next time won't you sing with me")
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Farmer in the Dell (which he thinks says "Hi-Ho the Video- Farmer in the Dell")
Jesus Loves Me
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Pat-A-Cake
London Bridge
Here is a video I like to call the ABC's/Pat-A-Cake Remix. It's SO hard to get singing on video b/c if I pull out my phone while he's singing, he stops!
Champs is a total chatter box. If he isn't sleeping, he's talking. To think how his vocabulary has grown in the last year is incredible. There really isn't much he can't say and he knows so many words that make us laugh that he knows them. I guess the main change in the last few months is putting all those words together into sentences. He definitely talks in sentences now and is getting better and better about using the correct pronouns. "What's her name? Where did he go? She's my friend" etc etc He says so many funny expressions that I know he gets from Barrett and me. He'll say things like, "Where's Landon?" (our neighbor) and then he'll say "Maybe he's at school" or "Probably he's eating his supper" He's real into saying "maybe" and "probably." He also loves to say "Let's see" as in...."Where is my Daddy? Is he downstairs? Let's see!" Or "where is my dumptruck? - Let'sss see." He says "Poor Champsie" or "Poor Mommy" a lot now. If he gets a boo boo from falling (Poor Champs) or if Mommy says I'm so tired (Poor Mommy - with a hug).
He knows most all of his letters and is super into them. Tried to start teaching him how to spell Champs, but he keeps getting CHAMPS confused with CLEMSON, which he loves to do the Clemson cheer!
He still loves to read so much. Bedtime has become a bit more of a struggle - it's always been so easy - but now he's lingering it out wanting to read one more book, one more book, okay now one while I'm in my bed, etc etc.
Eating...oh eating....not my favorite topic!! He is not a great eater and that's all there is to it. Very much unlike his Mama, he is PICKY!!! I try my very best not to let it bother me, but the daily attempts to get him to eat and eat decently healthy food is a struggle. He has his moments where he eats better than others, but most days he drinks a whole lot of milk and eats a LITTLE! I just pray this will get better over time!
At two years old, I am not even thinking about potty training yet. I am still very proud we've gotten rid of the paci, wants Raffi wayyyy less and I hope to move him to a big boy bed in a new big boy room this fall. My plan for potty training is next late spring/early summer - but I am sensing his teacher at school may have other plans....we'll see!! :)
Champs at two years old - you are an absolute delight!!! Yes, at times you can be trying like two year olds are - but goodness gracious you have our hearts!! Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with this most wonderful little boy!!
