In the last few days Goose:
- knocked over his chest of drawers during naptime, busting his lamp/nightlight, but luckily not himself.
- got his fingers smashed in the car door by grandma and mom closing two doors at the same time. Luckily, no damage.
- now considers his tricycle his most prized possesion. He no longer wants me to give him a bike ride to the park; he wants to ride his "bike" to the park and he does. He happens to be a little speed demon, too. The kid can move!
- started the habit of greeting dad in the window when I come home from work. He hears the garage door open and rushes to the window. He hasn't failed me in over two weeks.
- his favorite game is "jump on dad."
- can stay up late and be full of energy the next morning.
- constantly has bruises on his knees and shins.
- Is really interested in his younger brother.
In the last few days Turkey:
- has really come into his own.
- recognizes things and goes for them.
- has been getting around on the floor. Not full fledge crawling, but pretty close. It's only a matter of time.
- has been eating peas, carrots, yellow squash, sweet potatos, and little toast strips.
- gets so excited whenever mom walks in the room.
- got smacked in the head with a wooden train thanks to Goose.
- fell to the ground off a trike. I shouldn't trust Goose to hold on to him.
- experienced the first thrills of swinging and was gigling like crazy.
- is starting to express himself vocally.
- adores his older brother.
These are a few things that come to my mind. I figured it would be nice to remember what Goose and Turkey did at 2 1/2 years and 6 months of age.

Why use the names goose and turkey? Is there a story behind it?
I hear Goose likes Garage Sales - especially if Roamer helps out his Mom! That was fun to read.
It's great to look back and remember these things. Especially when they have passed the age of "wow, check out what my kid can do" and enter..."yeah, and" stage!
Our kids are very different from each other, not so much because boy vs. girl, although some because of it, but they are each very dynamic individuals.
I have written letters to the kids down through the years to capture these moments, some people don't understand it, but they know about it and look forward to reading them and about themselves!
These are the glimpses of daily life that I know I'll crave when we aren't around to see everyones ankle biters growing up. I do mean that affectionately!
