Two year old changes

So much happens in a toddler's life every day. He had his first scratched knee today...and pretty much had a meltdown when he finally saw it. He was fine walking to the kitchen and up the stairs...until he could see his knee. It wasn't even a deep cut.

And Squeakums had his first haircut ever last week and looks so much like a boy now. Amazing what a difference that makes.

BearHunter leaves on Sunday for a way too long camping trip...mama's not looking forward to the hundreds of times that Squeakums will no doubt ask "Where's daddy?" all week.

New YWAM school started yesterday with 7 students originating from New Zealand to Alaska. Said goodbye on Monday to our last graduate from the winter school. Always saying hello and goodbye to new people...it's a lifestyle in YWAM.

We enjoyed grammy and grampa's visit for Squeakums 2 year old birthday last month. Everyone had a good time I think. Grandparents checked off our TO-DO list, THANK YOU, and treated us and a friend to a lovely glacier cruise in Seward. We also were able to visit briefly with some family friends here on vacation as well.

I think potty training is close to being done. He hasn't wet his pants in a couple of days and is starting to indicate needing to go potty by attempting to take his pants off. We were asked to quit using the split pants for awhile, so we've put him diaperless in normal pants. However, he also has started taking his bedtime diaper and pajamas off at night....hmmm. Growing independence.

Wow. The big boy haircut. I'm not sure why it makes such a huge difference, but it does. Linus had his a few months ago. Seems like overnight they go from baby to boy. Congrats on the potty training!!! That should make life with the new baby so much easier. :) We haven't started yet. The little man is still a little young for that. :)

Thanks for the update! If you get a chance we would love to see the "boy" haircut.
