Grayson,
You are my sugar and spice little boy! One minute you are giving out love with such passion and the next you are all boy, reeking havoc on anyone or thing in your path. It keeps us focused on you because we are waiting to see what's coming our way. Not knowing if we are going to get a cuddly boy in our lap or a WWE wrestler wanting to put the hurt on us. It seems to be a good tactic since the middle child gets labeled as "lost in the mix". Sitting around quietly just isn't your thing!
You love to keep an eye on your family. It's so sweet that you always want to be near us. Typically, you are on the heals of your sissy. If she is not around, you make sure you know where your mom is at all times. I don't have to worry about losing you at the store because there is no way you will ever lose sight of me! All kidding aside, you are very thoughtful! If you are given anything, be it a treat, sticker, toy, etc, you make sure sissy gets one too. Hudson is lucky to have you as his big brother. He will never starve as you are very willing to give him your sippy cup or a bite of your snack. And, he has the option to not learn to walk because you are happy to drag him around the room.
The last couple of months have brought some new adventures to your world. You tackled potty training at 23 months old. The three day boot camp method worked well, and helped us get through that chore quickly. You really did a great job and continue to impress us. Wearing big boy underwear is still a cool thing to you. Especially, when you get to wear the Cars themed pair. Which is your favorite movie and can hold your attention for hours. Friday nights are pizza and movie night. If we are watching Cars we have to spoon every bite in your mouth because your attention is fully directed toward the TV. I could put a chocolate cake in front of you and it would be completely ignored because your eyes don't leave the screen.
Another major happening in your world...getting a roommate and switching your crib to a toddler bed. Hudson joined you in the "boys room" a couple months ago. Y'all are great roommates; getting along well when playing in your room, and rarely waking each other at night with your snoring, crying or talking. It's just the start of sharing many things; like clothes, sports equipment, a car. I can only hope y'all will always be so willing to share. Your mom can have high hopes, right!
It goes without saying that we love you immensely. Your strong desire to be nurtured helps us slow day and focus on loving you and your brother and sister. Your wild streak keeps the house playful and full of energy (and exhausted at the end of the day). Your boyish ways, like always wanting to go pee pee in the front yard gives us a good laugh and makes for some wonderful candid photos (from behind, of course). Your silliness of dressing up in your sisters clothes or wearing her shoes drives your daddy crazy but makes me giggle every time. Your determination to do it your way can be down right maddening but it makes me know you are my child. The flip side of that is your thoughtfulness and caring soul much like your daddy. You are our son and we love you now and forever!
Happy 2nd Birthday, Grayson Walker Sims
Licking his fingers because they went immediately to the cake when placed in front of him.
