We are celebrating again in our little house today. Simon Tirfe is two. That's right-- although we have been feeling the effects for quite some time. . . today we officially have two-two year olds. Wrap your arms around that one folks. . . TWO two year olds. I am sure you are all feeling immense pangs of jealousy.*
Kidding aside, it's pretty sweet. A good 90% is hilarious-- the other 10% is epic badness. I think that's what having kids means though.
Simon has had an incredible couple months-- the arrival of the baby has made him suddenly a big boy. He is very nurturing and caring for the baby while keeping up better with the bigger kids. He is still our busy boy-- either taking things apart or putting them together. We have found that he likes cars and trucks with a special love for construction vehicles which bring together the best of the break/build/moving trifecta.
His smile lights up the room, his beginning words more frequent and his adventures dunking in the toilet less frequent.** All in all, he is becoming one heck of a little boy.
Love this kid.

*If that's not enough. . . we now have four kids in diapers. Granted James is only in night times. . and Daisy is ready but we haven't set the time aside to formally make the leap. . . but still-- we are currently buying diapers for four children.
**Despite having giardia for almost two years of his life-- he has an odd magnetic relationship with standing water. ie. drinking out of a puddle on the deck etc. Matt has contemplated calling him Darwin because of his combined sense for adventure and lack of self-preservation.
Last week I found him on a ladder eight feet up in the air. AWESOME. It's amazing what an industrious two year old can do with thirty seconds of unsupervised play. Lesson learned, Mama.
