Mason is two!!!! Boy, are we experiencing what everyone warned us about; the terrible two's are UGLY. Ricky and I are on our toes every waking second of the day. Our little baby boy gets into EVERYTHING and ANYTHING faster than we can even try to react! Not only is he fast, he's stubborn too! He NEEDS that lollipop, and he needs it now. If he doesn't get it, the world will most definitely end right then and there. Everything is so dramatic now. Ricky and I really have to think twice before we go out to eat with Mason...can we get a booth? Can it be the furthest booth from civilization? Can we eat at 4:30pm during the senior time? Should we bring the ipad to distract him? Do we bring every toy that I can possibly fit in my giant purse? Will we ever be allowed to come to the restaurant again, or will we even want to return before he's 6?! Oh its tough. We've become experts on which fast food chains have play places and which don't. We frequent Chik-Fil-A a lot! We've even done Sonic once...it was great. We all stayed in the car, even Mason stayed locked in his car seat! It was a brilliant idea of mine, I must say. We hooked up the ipad to the back of the passenger seat, and he watched Dora, ate his food quietly, and Ricky and I got to stay in the front and enjoy adult conversation! Amazing!! :)
For the past month, Mason has been waking up between 4:30 am and 5am (closer to 4:30am...if it were 5am, we'd probably consider that "sleeping in"). We have no idea why he's become SUCH AN EARLY riser!!? He wakes up ready to go! He goes to bed between 7:30pm and 8pm every night. Oh its been tough on us...we're hoping that when we get back to school in a couple weeks, that he'll get back on his normal school year routine too!
Mason loves, and I mean, LOVES Blaze and the Monster Machine (on Nickelodeon), Paw Patrol, Curious George, and Dora! He will watch these shows over and over again!!!!!!
Mason was having ear infection after ear infection for 10 months (7 infections in 10 months). We took mason to the ENT and she put him on Singular! This drug has worked wonders!!!! Mason hasn't had an ear infection in over 3 months!!!! We're so happy, and so is Mason! :)
Mason's second birthday party was construction themed!! Mason loves all things trucks!! He's such your typical boy! Loves trucks, garbage trucks, buses, airplanes, and all construction stuff!!! We invited all of Mason's friends from Nursery, and then some! We had a huge turn out!!!! So much fun!! Ricky and I barely saw him during his party, he was running all over, playing with his friends!
Despite the craziness of having a 2 year old, we are having so much fun with Mason! He is speaking really well, both English and Spanish! It's so cute to hear and see the words he chooses to say in English and which to say in Spanish. He's so loveable, cuddly, excited, playfull, funny (he's sooo funny), and has really quite the personality! We just love our little boy sooooooooooooooooooo much!!!
Hope you enjoyed our little 2 year Mason update!!
