Sullivan's 2nd birthday was a great success. We had a backyard affair with close friends and some family. Below are some pictures from the event.
What is Sullivan up to now that he's officially in the 'terrible 2s'? Well, he can certainly throw a tantrum, but he balances it out with his incredible sweetness. I must admit, it's very hard not to laugh when he says, "Go to time out Momma!". He repeats all the phrases I say to him when he's in trouble, right back to me if I make him mad. I guess I should be impressed he's speaking in sentences at 2 years old, regardless of what he's saying!
Sullivan has really gotten into emotions. He'll frequently ask if I'm going to cry or if I'm happy. When reading Peter Pan the other night, he became very concerned for Captain Hook when the Tic Toc Croc was about to eat him. He'll say, "Uh Oh, Momma! Uh Oh!" whenever he gets worried about someone. Cars parked on the side of the road are definite cause for concern since he associates this with Lightening McQueen running off the road in his Cars book. Our recent walk back from the grove together was filled with "Uh Ohs" since there were cars parked all over the place! I kept having to explain they were just parked, and that they were ok.
Speaking of the Grove, Sullivan joined us there LSU game weekend. It was not his first Grove experience, as I had originally thought, but his first since he has become mobile. And, boy howdy, was he mobile! He had no fear and would run straight through tents until we finally caught him. He did get to play football for the first time in the grove, and it was so sweet! I have memories of watching the Manning boys throw the football in the grove when we were all kids, and I was glad Sullivan got to experience the same. Daniel and his brothers went to the game, the first half anyway, and Sullivan and I watched from the comfort of Anna's couch. Painful.
I would say Sullivan still isn't eating great, except he did suprise me a bit at my Mom's over Thanksgiving weekend. He ate ham, meatballs, and cranberry sauce! Not sure why he will eat Bebe's meatballs, but not mine. Especially since we use the same recipe! Perhaps my nieces were a positive influence on him! Either way, I was happy to see him eat something resembling normal dinner fare.
We go for Sullivan's 2 year check up on Thursday, so I'll have to update stats then. I know he seems so big and grown up to me! It amazes me to see the changes mentally and physically since just a year ago! I am so very blessed to have such a sweet, smart, and handsome boy.
