Presenting....

A Day In The Life Of
A Brand Spankin' New Two-Year-Old



(Stay tuned for Justin's exciting stats and milestones at the end ☺)


Good Morning
!



Breakfast of oatmeal, while watching TV.


Taking the kids to school - not typical, Dad does this most days.
Thank goodness because Mom usually doesn't wear a bra.

Mid-morning popcorn fix. I will have another one after my nap later.


My sweet ride.


Getting creative in the garage since it's raining cats and dogs outside.
Nothing like a wooden slide and splinters in my hiney.


Talking to daddy.
How does he fit inside that little phone?

Gotta look good for the chicks.
Everything in the bathroom is a hair product.

Today's pick.

No one can say no to these eyes.

Mom's gardenias are blooming! Time for me to pick them.

A break in the rain.

This looks fun. It's not usually full of water.



MUD!! A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do.

Time for some tricks.


Go Noles! (Did I just say that?)

Waiting for Daddy to go on a bike ride. I travel in style.

Cruising the neighborhood with Jackson.

No day is complete without one of these. Gotta keep them on their toes.

Where are my pants?

Mr. Rooter wanted $160 for this job. Thank goodness Dad is handy.

The two bars of soap I flushed.


The daily check to make sure all my parts are still there.

All clean and ready for bed. But not before a little more playtime.

Jackson loves to make me laugh.

Cars are my life.

Seriously, how much cuter can a 2-year-old be?

A little hide and seek.

Uh, I'm not laughing anymore. This is scary.

Mom makes it all better. Looks like she has a little laundry to do.

This blanky is too dry. Gotta get it nice and soggy. Nighty-night!



Stuff about Justin
~height: approx 35" weight: 29 lbs
~picky eater, most days are difficult food-wise
~still drinks rice milk, does not like regular milk
~loves smoothies (doesn't know there's a handful of spinach blended into each one he drinks)
~loves cars and trucks
~balls take a close second
~has become quite a late sleeper (this will be appreciated over the summer)
~he still takes a nap (if he doesn't sleep late)
~says lots of words, repeats most anything we say
~Jackson is currently his favorite sibling
~he gives good smooches
~The funniest thing about Justin is how he uses Audrey's name in vain. If he falls down or bonks his head or something he says, "Oh Au-dreee!" in exasperation. And Audrey won't even be at home. It is so funny. He says it to anybody who's bugging him or if I say to stop doing something, "No! Au-dreeee!"
~he talks (or yells) in his sleep sometimes (AU-DREEE!)
~he helps get the kids off to school by telling them to remember their "back-back" and to "hurry"
~he's a little showdog, telling everyone to "look" or "watch" him do something
~the Wiggles and Backyardigans hold a very special place in his heart

Happy Birthday little buddy! I love you!

That was a GREAT post! What a cutie too, but I wouldn't expect anything else since he is a Henderson.

What a sweet post Janet-I loved it. I was cracking up at the similarities between him and Pedro:

1. The love of popcorn
2. Everything's a hair product
3. Tantrums
4. biting the blanket-so gross-Pedro's always stinks of saliva-ewww.

And, I loved the no bra mom, the soap-filled potty in the and the laundry.

happy birthday Justin! I hope we get to meet you someday. :)
