This morning Hayes woke up grumpy and said, “I don’t care!” to us as we were telling him about the day’s activities we had planned. We aren’t sure when our two year old learned how to talk like a teenager, but we’re not so happy about it. The past few weeks have shown us a new side of Hayes, whose vocabulary is WAY beyond his years anyway. Terrible two’s?? Not sure. We’re just praying Rhys doesn’t pick up Hayes’ attitude.
As for the littlest one, Rhys is into biting these days. He enjoys trying out his new teeth on any unsuspecting human, toy, or animal. He’s a pretty fast crawler, so beware. Yikes!
On the way back from the Wilmore Arts and Crafts fair, we were walking briskly back to our house and noticed that both Rhys and Hayes were singing to each other in the stroller. We were quiet and listened to the recognizable pieces of “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and Rhys’ own song today. What a wonderful snapshot that will stay with us forever!
The boys really enjoy one another these days, especially when the other tickles them. Will our days always be this joyous? Probably not, so I’m wishing we could freeze time today.
