There is just something about this guy. I don't know if it's that he has these still chubby baby cheeks or a crazy cowlick or these deeply colored eyes, or that he is getting so good and parroting words that part of me hopes no SLP in his future (though who am I kidding?), but he is quite charming to me, even through most (I said most, not all) of his tantrums. He is not 3 yet, and all the veterans know 3 is when the real terrible becomes a reality, but I am loving 2 for now (minus the #2 diapers, GOODNIGHT NURSE!).
One unique thing about Shawn is bedtime. If we are just letting the kids 'go crazy' and not enforcing bedtime, he parties with the best of them, but as his normal bedtime is an hour before the older kids', he tires out much sooner than them. He will come to me sometimes and when I ask if he wants to go to bed, he says no (got to play the game, right?), but then I pick him up and hold him lying in my arms, and he gets the cutest little voice. We talk about his day, and he copies some of the words/phrases I say in his little voice. He does not put up a fight one little bit. No screaming, etc. It is one of those awwww! moments of mothering. He is so good about bedtime.
