The Big 02

Dixon turned 2 on May 11th!!! Here are some highlights...

Dixon got a water table from Mom and Dad. Too bad it's been too FREEZING outside to use it.

Grandma and Grandpa Alldredge know Dixon so well. They got him his favorite thing in the world. Balloons. He likes to get the cats to chase the ribbons on the balloons while he runs up and down the halls.

He seriously hasn't let go of these balloons for days. He's learning to do everything one-handed.

One hand to eat with. One hand to hold balloons in a death grip.

Grandma Joy made Dixon his very own cake. She was even nice enough to light the candles and let him blow them out. About 400 times.

Here is the balloon cake I made for Dixon.

Dixon figured being the birthday boy meant he didn't have to wait for us to cut him a piece. So he just dug in!

Here Dixon is relaxing at the end of the day. He's got his balloons, his favorite toy from Grandma and Grandpa Dunaway, and he's watching Bolt. Life is good when you're two.

Here is Dixon blowing out candles.

Those pictures are too cute! I can't believe he's 2. I love that he has his balloons in all the pictures. I guess that's a pretty cheap birthday present. Can't beat that.

It's amazing how fast 2 years goes by. That table looks like a lot of fun, hopefully it warms up soon so he can take it outside for some fun.

while placing it on his head.

"Good boy, Mommy!"

When Dixon wants to ask permission for something, he looks at me and asks, "yeah, Mama?" while imitating what is is he wants to do. I've always appreciated this because it helps him to communicate despite his speech limitations. Yesterday I was moving shelves. I was over-dramatizing the effort in an attempt to make Dixon laugh. His response? He looked at me and asked, "Shit, Mama?" to see if it was an appropriate time to say that. I guess he has been listening to me...
and, yes, it was me that accidentally taught him that one.

Years ago Scott had most of his toenails removed. Yesterday Dixon noticed this for the first time and said:
"Eeeww toes. Ew gross."

The other night Dixon got up in the middle of the night (like always.) When I went to try and plead with him to be quiet and try to sleep he pointed at my bloodshot eye and said:
"Mommy eye owie. Red owie. Eye red owie."

I was putting band-aids on some cuts on Dixon's fingers when he said:
"Night night owies."

Dixon heard the zipping sound when he was zipping up his coat. He curled his hand around his ear and whispered:
"Hear bee!"

Dixon: "Ah Goo"
Dash: "Ah Goo"
Dixon: "Ah Goo"
Dash: "Burbble puh puh"

Dixon when I gave him Ramen Noodles today:
"Snake bath, Mommy!"

Dixon when he pooped in the potty today:
"Choo choo train poop!"

I think Dixon has been having nightmares about mice and bees in his bed. He keeps waking up and needing reassurance they are not there. Tonight at bed time:
Dixon: "No bees?"
Me: "No bees."
Dixon: "No mouse?"
Me: "No mouse."
Dixon: "No cow?"
Me: "I'm actually outside the bed, so no cow. Now go to sleep."
