The Monster is 2

This little one keeps us on our toes.
He's quite demanding, always telling us where to be, what to do ('Coat off, Mommy!') and what he is going to do.
He is still a little cuddle bug and quite a lover. He loves to copy everything his sister does and says.
His favorite show/music is 'Mama Shark...dodododododo, Daddy Shark...dododododododo'
He loves to dance and sing.
He can kind of count to ten. '1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10!'
He knows all his animals and colors and loves to jump...off anything and into any arms there are.
He loves stroller rides and bike rides and just being outside. But the poor boy takes after mom and is cold all the time.
He's VERY particular about what he wears ('no jeans!') and how things feel ('too tight, mommy!').
He loves to accessorize - 'shoes, hat, coat, hood!'
He quite dramatic in all aspects - happiness (WOW!), running (elbows flying), and tantrums (rolling on the floor, banging the head).
However, he's quite shy around new people...With a small group singing HBD, he turned in his chair, and sucked his lower lip against his trusted wrist (his signature move when he's tired or embarrassed)
HOORAY - We have now had two weeks of healthy boy and full nights sleep. We are all in much better states of mind!
He keeps us laughing and is cute as a button.

Some Del Speak:
Del, Do you want some breakfast? Do you want a treat?
'Yes, he DOES!'

Trying to do something himself, but needs help.
'Help you, mommy?'

Telling him No for anything...'Go AWAY mommy'

Del don't climb on the couch or Don't bite your sister...'Oh, Fine!'

'Mommy Are?' (Where is Mommy?)

Hippopotamus!

'Monster Scary' with the saddest little look on his face. Everything is scary these days.

'Audrey Ann!' Whenever he is unhappy with her
'Sarky Ann!' Whenever he is unhappy with him

'Daddy Toot!' 'Del burp!' 'Del bum!'

'Otay' (Okay)

'Don't like that' as he's spitting out his food that is half chewed up.
