Observations on being 2 1/2

There's no real Mr. Pie story for me to tell you tonight, that will grab your attention or have you clutching your sides with glee. Those have been relegated to his mommy's blog, Batutah.com. Apparently I just want to show off some of the photos I took. Because... well, you see. I mean, look at this child! Why wouldn't I want to show him off?

I'll tell you this. It must be very, very difficult to be 2 1/2. The little man went from giggling to sobbing to howling with glee to fuming to clapping his hands to storming off, again and again during our evening together, his emotions just ran rampant. So many things to discover, so many annoyances (the word "no" comes to mind,) so many thrills.

Bath time was the best. And immediately after when he decided he'd have some cereal for a post dinner dinner and, oh, wouldn't it be cool if "Mimi" would just give me that towel over there while she tries to keep me from putting my face into the cereal bowl?!

Favorite phrase of mine he mimicked tonight: "We're not animals; let's eat with our spoons." It sounded pretty hysterical coming from the mouth of this little person.

I only had a few minutes to catch up on my blog reading and I realized I was letting the seconds roll by while I was staring at Mr. Pie. I got lost somewhere between the eyes and the crooked little smile!

Oh Melody! How do you get those great shots? I see that beautiful face everyday, but all I can get a photo of is the back of his head -- running in the opposite direction! Great photo! And thanks for subjecting yourself to his 2 1/2 year old mood swings last night!

Cindy, you described what I do when I see shots like this of our munchkin. ;) Thanks for the smile.

Joy, darlin, I have more pictures of the back of your kid's head than anybody else's. I promise. But your "how I get those shots" answer is a hat tip to the fabulous Susie, who taught me everything I know about photography.

Plus I have the coolest subject ever. (My pleasure re the mood swings... a moody night is still a night with Mr. Pie - always a cool thing!)
