Declan is two years old!!!!

Declan is now a two year old! I've missed several months of blogging so I think I'll do an update. We continue to have a very active son. We've heard things like 'wow, does he ever stop?', 'if there is something to take apart, he'll do it', 'does he ever climb well!', 'how old is he?...my son wouldn't have dared climb up to the high slides in McDonalds playland at that age!'. My mom said 'There are kids who will gently walk hand and hand down the street, and then there is Declan'. Declan sure is active but we loves his energy and excitement! 'Rough and tumble'

He loves to explore. We've been having more and more 'Curious George' incidents with Declan. Here is a list:
-Mrs. Enns (babysitter) says he takes off all of the tires on her toy cars
-She also said that when she has her pool set up the kids usually play in the pool or the grass. Declan plays in the pool and the flower garden
-Declan has flooded the bathroom while pouring half a bottle of handsoap all over the floor
-He has dumped half a bottle of baby shampoo in the bathtub
-He dumped almost a full bottle of sunscreen on his sheets and on his head and eyes
-he rubbed cream into his carpet
-he played with vaseline and rubbed it on clothes

Declan is starting to talk quite a lot
-he talks a lot about cars, trucks, tractors, loaders, Paul (uncle Paul), George (curious george), Wolfie, Grandpa (Pup ups)
-He saw an ipod commercial and he says 'mommy gots a podpod, daddy gots a podpod'. That was June 1st.
-he says 'opsie days'
-'dad's pop', 'well okay', 'no way --is a favourite', 'thanks' 'pee bad'
-he is very polite as he often says 'peas', 'thanks', 'no thank you'

-we are still toilet training Declan -- He wears underwear all day and cloth diapers at nap (often waking up dry) and once he woke up dry in the morning. We have to tell him to go most of the time. Though in the last couple of days I have noticed that he is telling us more.

-food -- eats anything (normally we offer milk at breakfast and supper and then water the rest of the day). He eats basically anything and he is a BIG eater! He isn't too fond of potatoes.

-I'll add more later
