I was just having flashbacks tonight of Xander at 2 and half. I was remembering in particular a wedding we went to, and staying at the hotel, Xander had never seen television, so was totally confused by the commercials... he wanted to skip them and get back to the show! "What is this Dad? where's the show?" And then, watching the news, he turned to us and said, "that man is talking to ME! He's talking to ME, Mom!"
After the wedding on the return trip we stopped at a hamburger place that was alien themed. Xander loved it, (space has always been an interest) and then to top if off, a giant Alien walked around the room and Xander was both thrilled and intrigued and a bit scared, but had to go see him none-the-less.
I also remember how Xander used to play with my hair. He's been sick this week and last night as he fell asleep he reached up and played with my hair again... oh the memories that brought back! (I hope you do it a few more times in your childhood my son!)
Well, pregnancy this time around is not very fun... I'm ready to be over this trimester and it's only beginning! I must get to bed, but I'll write some more "2" year memories down soon. :)
Love you Xander-man! xoxoxo ~Mom

Terrific Two's
Just wanted to jot down a few thoughts tonight on Tennyson, ... my "baby" (though not for MUCH longer now!)
"Tata"... you are such a dear, sweet little boy. I just LOVE this age, ... so curious, learning so much, so cuddly and so loving! Today (and about once a day for the past week) you just came running up to me and gave me a huge hug and said "I love you mommy!". At music you looked up smilingly at me, enjoying so that I was spending the time with you. And tonight you made your dad and I laugh so hard at your singing and "spinning" and dancing! The songs you were making up, about a banana that fell in the fishy water and swam to a volcano and fought a dragon! You could be such an actor my son ;)
You've said so many quirky and intelligent things lately... you were playing with a little penguin toy and said you wanted to go outside in the backyard with him. I said no, as it was too cold right now and you turned to me, and looking very quizzical and a bit disturbed, said, "Mommy, but penguins like the cold!" What could I say? :) You were quite right!
Seeing the reflection in the mirrored glass of the grocery store you said, ... "Mommy, look at the pretty picture in there of the city!"
And Disneyland made SUCH an impression on you... a few days ago you said, ... "When can we go to Disneyland again mommy? I promise I won't hit Mickey!?!?!? Today, as were driving home after dropping Xander off at school, you pipe up from the back seat. "Is Mickey asleep or awake in his castle Mommy?" I said maybe he was sleeping and you said "NO Mommy, he awake, because the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day outside!... I want to go to Disneyland Mommy, not today, but right now?!?? I have 5 moneys Mommy, can we go please???" Oh! My dear, it made me so sad to have to tell you that we couldn't go for a long time, ... I sure wish we could afford to take you again SOON!
Well my little snuggle-bug, ... mama's tired and I want to go cuddle with you. I'll write more soon!
Love, Mama
