"How do you spell your name?"

"No, but I love...."
This is a common phrase now. Colin will be involved in some mischievousness, we will tell him it isn't safe or he is not allowed to do it. What's his response??? "Nooo daddy/mommy, I love hitting/kicking/doing that" Apparently his passion for mischief should outweigh the level of destruction or meanness. The perks of a two year old it seems. They still aren't 'terrible twos' but there is a lot more policing involved. Even as this is being typed he's off on the side doing commando rolls off of his stool.
He received his acceptance letter to his first choice of preschool, meaning not enough applied to need a lottery. He's already exciting about going to school. He's aware it's not for a long time and after we go camping which is after it gets hot outside. We are asked frequently about going camping and going to school. Also, if you have been in his mind while he is thinking about camping then he's asked if you can go too. Preschool will be good for him to be able to regularly play with other kids. He has finally started to interact with others more. He says hi to others in passing and points out that they didn't respond to him. There doesn't seem to be disappointment but he let's someone know he was ignored.
Potty training is going a bit better. There is a bit more awareness of when he needs to go. He can identify all letters and the numbers 1-10 with almost perfect accuracy. He gets himself up and down at the table and puts his dirty dishes on the counter. Swimming has started up again and he has no fear of jumping in and going under.
Our good, smart, energetic boy is growing up so much.

The end of 2013
It's been a good year for Mr Handsome. It's fun having a toddler running around the house. All the cute things he says and does make up for his moments as Mr Furious.
This month we went to the open house for preschool for next year. We should hear back this month if he gets in or if a lottery is needed because too many 3 year olds are on the list. He wasn't as timid as expected in the classroom and he was happy with the teachers there. It looks promising.
We also had a trip down to Grampy's in Florida. Colin has been waiting to get on another airplane since his last flight to California. Colin really enjoyed the trip and we have the pictures to prove it.
Christmas wasn't as an exciting time as we thought it would be for him. There was no screaming or attacking the presents. We had a very civil Christmas.
Nothing really new in the development area.
He still will count his numbers and say his abc's. He is more active with dancing and jumping around.
We will see what 2014 brings. Happy New Year
