Porter

Here's a little bit about our sweet boy at age TWO:

• We think he has some type of monkey super powers. This boy can and will climb anything!
• He's been a happy, easy going kid ever since he was born and continues to be so.
• He's a big time cuddler and a mama's boy!
• He's curious and asks "why" about everything.
• He loves water, cars, trains, playing outside and going to the park.
• He's working hard at mastering the potty. Right now he's doing super awesome being accident free during the day, we just have to work on those long nights.

This sweet little boy can also be a little monster.

In just the past few days he has:

• Dumped red Crystal Light powder all over the kitchen.
• Colored on our leather couches with blue and yellow chalk. Hey, now the couches match the walls. At least the chalk washes off easily, unlike the marker and crayon drawings on the walls.
• He turned on the blender while I was in the shower. The noise of the blender startled him, so naturally he starting screaming. The combo of these two noises coming from the kitchen resulted in me running butt naked through the house with all the blinds open. Bet the neighbors just loved that!
• He got a pack of gum out of my purse and ate a piece. No biggie, except later I found the gum all over his car seat, clothes, and hands. And even later when I went to eat a piece of gum all I had to chose from were several pieces of already been chewed gum that had been put back in the package.
• A few weeks ago, he put matchbox cars down the garbage disposal and gave my cell phone a bath. There were no survivors.
• I've caught him up to his elbows in toilet water shoving an entire roll of toilet paper down the toilet hole.
• Yesterday, I caught him literally chasing one of those furry "jumping" spiders around the kitchen trying to "pet" it.
• And then there is bedtime. Do you think the little boy with monkey powers stays in his crib? Nope. We put him in bed at least ten times every night. We lock the bedroom door so he can't get out and eventually he'll fall asleep on the floor. However, we don't like to do this, because when we've gone in to check on him we've found him jumping on top of Gabe while Gabe is sound asleep. I think we need some type of bedtime restraining device . . . duct tape. . . monkey cage. . . etc.

Whether he's being sweet or a little monster we sure LOVE our Porter bug! Life just wouldn't be the same without him!
