This Is Why He Is Turning Two!!

It has been a fun year!! As you can see, Elton has spent the year mastering many developmental tasks. Since he has previously mastered climbing and testing dog doors, he got his birthday week off to a grand start on Monday by getting himself locked in the bathroom. The door was not locked as that would have been too simple for mommy to figure out. He was smart enough to pull the vanity drawer out to block the door from opening so he could master the skill of conquering those pesky cuboard latches. He was then able to thoroughly disinfect his pajamas with Lysol spray. He really didn't see what the big fuss was about when mommy almost had to call 911 to get him out of there.

When you tell him that you have your eyes are on him he and the finger to eyes motion, he responds by saying "ticka ticka ticka" for you to come tickle him. This is why his latest nickname is "Tickle Me Elton". When you get down to his level to tell him no, he takes his nose and rubs it to yours while saying "diddle diddle diddle". He also cutely responds "OK" and is a very agreeable little guy. We have not yet heard him say no even though we have repeated it to him frequently.

As I was just typing this, he came and wanted up to tell me "ticka ticka ticka" again for some more tickles. What more can I say at this point!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Elton!!
