Two Years Ago Today

It's my little Atrion's 2nd birthday today. We had a great day just being together as a family. We went into Memphis to go to an Asian market because I am making lots of Asian cuisines for dinner this week. When I say making, I mean planning the meals and buying the groceries for Cody to cook. :)We ate at a delicious Thai restaurant where the host gave Atrion some free strawberry Pocky. In the picture below he is enjoying a very juicy lime wedge.
I love Atrion so much. He is truly an incredibly person. He is tall, skinny, and has crazy, spiky, multicolored hair that won't lie flat. He loves to snuggle with his soft blankets, and watch Veggietales. He is a very fast learner and adapts to many situations very quickly. He loves to read a lot as well. He also enjoys tearing up books almost as much. He laughs hysterically when we tell "secrets" about Dad and hide under the pillows waiting for him to get out of the shower. He goes crazy for bathtime, hates nap time, is a picky eater, loves candy, and always wants to go bye-bye. Basically he is like any other kid, only he is super sweet and very reserved around people he doesn't know well. He tends to run away from bullies instead of fight back. He is a softie and will cry if you get too harsh with him. Anything that runs off of electricity intrigues him. For the longest time he was obsessed with lamps. Now it's laptops, iPods, and DVD players. He can destroy a house in two seconds flat by messing with a "decoy" item that draws my attention to it, and while I am cleaning that up he is getting into 10 other things. He plays "babies" with his stuffed monkey. He takes Bob and Larry everywhere. He loves to build with blocks but only if either Cody or I play with him. He likes to play with dice, break eye glasses, help unload the dishwasher, load and unload the dryer, roll around on blankets when I am trying to fold them up, and take out all the DVD's and mix them up in their cases.
He is the best snuggler. I love him so much. He is the greatest. He can go ahead and stop growing up now.
