Happy Birthday Alex!
Yesterday, November 19, was Alex's second birthday. I can't believe our little guy is 2!Alex at 2 -
Likes: buttons and switches, especially when pushing/switching them makes things happen! Alex loves books, songs, running, being silly with Molly, and exploring (getting into everything!).
New Talents: Undressing himself, peeing on the potty (about 5X per week), and jumping where he twists 180 degrees and lands facing the opposite direction.
Dislikes: Going to sleep, sitting at the table longer than 90 seconds at a time, and sharing toys.

Funny Molly stories:
---
Yesterday, on the way to preschool, Molly saw a pop can in the grass near the road. Here is the conversation that followed:
M: Mom, look, there is some glitter over there!
E: Glitter? Where?
M: Over there! (pointing) Someone threw trash on the grass.
E: Oh. That's litter with an "L", not glitter. Glitter with a "G" is the sparkly stuff we use to decorate art.
M: Littering? Yeah, look at that can. That is very bad for our earth.
A few minutes later, she saw a paper plate by the road.
M: Mom, look, more glittering!!!
E: Littering. Littering starts with "L". Glitter is the sparkly stuff that you shake onto glue.
M: Yeah, littering. People should not litter.

Molly was watching Dora, and Dora was saying how it is nice to say "Please" and "Thank You". Dora also teaches them the Spanish word for please, "por favor".
We overheard Molly say to Alex, "Alex you are in the way. Please will you get out of the way, por savor?"

On Saturday, I browned up some ground beef and onions for chili. The onions were really strong. Alex was napping and had been upstairs for quite a while. Molly was playing in the living room, and she said, "Yuck, it smells bad in here. I think Alex pooped!"

Yesterday late afternoon, Cory and I were discussing where we should go in the evening to celebrate Alex's birthday. Molly was in a time out, and she yelled from the corner, "How about McDonalds?!?"
I said, "Molly, we can't hear you when you are in time out."
M: (Yelling louder) I said HOW ABOUT MCDONALDS????
E: Molly, I meant that we can hear you but we do not talk to you while you are in time out.
M: (cupping her hands around her mouth and yelling even louder) HOW ABOUT MCDONALDS!!!!!
