This has been a BIG year for Degen! At age 2, he was still so much a baby, but he has really grown up a lot in this past year. Degen was just getting his words a year ago, but now he is a talker. Trust me when I tell you that this boy will tell you exactly what he wants when he wants it and loud enough for everybody to hear. In the past year, he started gymnastics and dance class. He is also taking his first art class, is joining in on homeschool lessons and regularly attends Sunday school. He had his first broken bone (arm) this summer and was Christened in October. We got rid of the high chair and put the crib/toddler bed in storage. He is weaned, sleeping through the night and hooray-hooray: potty trained himself this winter! These are all things that make for one happy momma!
At age 2, Degen was still pretty easy-going, but as we got closer & closer to age 3 he got a lot more and more...how do I put it...opinionated. We have entered the land of fits and tantrums. One minute he wants love & attention and the next minute he is angrily shouting, "Stop talkin' a-me." He refuses to hold my hand when I want him to, but begs & cries to be carried when my arms are full. He is not always the best listener and we are working on sharing with our friends. Sigh... Degen loves the color red. His favorite foods are hot dogs and cottage cheese. He is crazy for technology, especially the iPad. He can count and is learning his colors and shapes. He likes to play with his cars and his trains. He loves his sister! Degen does not always make being a parent easy, but he does make it worth it: every smile, mischievous grin, hug, laugh and 'I love you' makes it worth it! We love you, Degen Richard Aurelius!
