on Marco turning 2

Co. will turn 2 on Saturday.
Here are some things I want to remember about him at this stage.
- He has big emotions.
- He is silly
- He loves Papa
- He loves snacks
- He color matches well
- He enjoys being outside
- He likes watching Paw Patrol, Toy Story, Moana, and Frozen
- His favorite food is probably pretzels
- He eats lots of green beans and recently, strawberries
- He knows lots of words but is starting to put three words together to form small sentences.
- He gives hugs and kisses
- He loves cars and dinos
- He is loud
- He looks for Reyna all the time

These are some of my favorite pictures of him.
I didn't blog much of his first year :(

How we play.

The days are long. Even the ones that go well.
It seems looking back on the short five years of parenting, I have already forgotten "how we do it" so I wanted to remind myself HOW WE PLAY. One day, I'm sure I will forget all about these things. This is how we played this month.

LOTS of outdoor time (Texas winter!) 

 He is into Buzz and Woody

 This Dinosaur Dig was a hit! 12 times!

 We visit the Library often.

 He likes Neil to fly him around in this.

 everyday. 

He slides his cars down the banister. 

everyday.

 trains and hats.

 Dinos and Paw Patrol

 We visited the new Lion King exhibit at the museum.

 Reyna loves kinetic sand and Marco is just learning how to play. 

 This has been up for a week now. 

She even slept in here last night!

 The love for riding bikes is growing. 

Two-gether.

These two spend a lot of time together and they are started to play better together. I love getting to see them learn about their own relationship with each other. 

These pictures illustrate their roles perfectly. 

She is the teacher. 

He is the student. 

 So proud to show us her brother's new trick.

 She also loves matching. He hasn't decided yet...
