Oh my where to begin!
At 2 1/2 I feel like Brighton is a roller coaster of emotions.
One minute he is happy next crying with big tears coming down.
I'm not sure if it's because of Nixon, or turning 2. I think more so turning 2 but a little of both.
He is still in diapers.
It drives Daniel crazy... I don't really care. It's a lot of work to potty train and I figure he will get it one day.
I'm just not sure when that one day will be with all this moving that is about to happen.
He still loves to nap and takes about a 3 hour nap everyday.
Goes to bed around 8-830
Wakes up around 7-8
Loves Nixon so much and can't wait for him to get big.
Every mile stone Nixon hits Brighton cheers for him "yay baby nix you did it!!"
He tells me all the time that "Nixon has cute Ears mom" I would have to agree :)
When I do something he doesn't like he puts his hand up and says "stop it mom just stop it"
Still loves watching sports. It's March Madness
and every night he brings me the remote and says "watch basketball mom"
Tries every night to sleep in the "orange bed" our bed. He says he wants to snuggle.
The few times we have let him I regret it every morning!
He is still in the crib and I love it!
He can count to 20
He knows all his colors
He knows his ABC
Is still so obsessed with every kind of BIG Vehicle
Loves trains
He is really into Little Einsteins right now.
Drinks a fruit smoothie loaded with spinach every morning.
Sometimes I wonder if he is anemic because he seems sleepy all the time.
I should get his blood tested but I'm dreading that.
I just need to get more iron rich foods in his diet.
Maybe 2 smoothies a day with spinach?
He loves playing with friends and loves to play soccer.
I never thought I would say this but I want nixon to get bigger so they can play!
He went through a 2 week phase where he wasn't too sure about nursery but now he likes it again.
I have noticed that when I am up front with him about things and tell him what is going to happen. Such as "I am going to go to class and I will be back to get you in a couple of hours" Apposed to me sneaking out when he is not looking. He does a lot better.
He loves nixon but he is also mean to him when he wants attention from me.
Some of the things he does is~
pretends to kiss him but then digs his teeth into his head
head butts him
kicks him while he walks by him
steamrolls him
pulls on his legs when I'm holding him
wow this list is getting long I will stop there.
I'm Sure Mr. Nix will get him back one day.
I feel like he is really hard and the tantrums and constant overemotional self is killing me
but when he is sweet and tells me he loves me and misses me out of no where,
and asks if we can snuggle that is what gets me through it.
People say 3 is harder but I don't know how it can get harder than this.?
Daniel and I were talking the other night and we Never thought a toddler would be this hard.
I just thought if I was consistent with time outs and calm speaking
(and I feel like I am most of the time) it would work out.
But that's not the case. So you just deal with it. ahhh motherhood :)

Wow you make me scared to have another kid! Ha I know boys will be boys. I've always thought Brighton was stinkin adorable and I still do! And little Nixon is too! You just have cute kids :) Miss you! hope everything is going well!
OH hun it gets harder cause they get smarter. One day he will outsmart you and it will blow your mind. It happens often here. But it gets easier in ways too. They learn how to verbalize and share. But watching them get big way faster than you want is heartbreaking.
