being 2...

Noodles are "delicious" and even after a 2 hr nap, Matt remembers that mommy said he could have noodles for lunch.

Messy hands during mealtimes is a deal breaker, so napkins and wipes are a must
after every bite (OCD ya think? that comes from Aaron for sure) the fork and spoon are becoming essentials to prevent the messiness of finger eating.

"No thank you" gets you major points and has become a favorite phrase, as well as, "juice please" or whatever he happens to want followed by please

bugs are annoying and cause itching all over. (the mosquitos made a comeback after all the rain, no fun!) the itching is solved with "wotion" or hydrocortisone for the rest of us.

McQueen (the red car from Cars) provides endless entertainment and when handed to Matt insures more peaceful time to get something done (ie grocery shopping)

"sweet" or cream of wheat has become a favorite for breakfast (only b/c dad makes it, mom is not a fan!)

Mom is winning the debate of barely cooked or very cooked bacon, YAY for the crunchy stuff! (it's easier to chew at the age of 2!)

The pet store is even better than a candy shop, thank goodness walmart has fish to make every trip a happy one!

Matt loves to "watch jogging" translation- moms P90X video warm-up (pregnancy pounds aren't just disappearing on their own, so sad!)

and that's a wrap for this mom break. so much material and no time to write it all down! off to play "cooking", good thing imagination food doesn't have any calories!!
