Oh to be 2!

Two year olds are hilarious.  Sometimes completely irrational, and sometimes the most logical people on the planet.  I happen to wildly love my sweetie pie 2 year old Zacky boy.  He makes me smile on a regular basis.  For example, the other morning I was making him breakfast, which really is just re-heating pancakes in the microwave.  When he heard the microwave beep he came running into the kitchen yelling "Yay!  Yay!! Pancakes!!!!"  I smiled at his joy over microwaved pancakes. 

In addition to a deep love for microwaved pancakes, he has a deep love for his blocks (legos, technically, but we call them blocks).  His love for his blocks is so deep that we sometimes have a hard time prying him away from these blocks for a nap, a meal, and for bedtime.  There have been tears involved more than one time when we have had to put these blocks away so they could go night, night.  I think I may have gotten a glimpse of how he feels about this myself, just the other day.  I had built him a pretty sweet set of stairs with his blocks.  My building skills have greatly improved over the past couple of weeks, and I was proud of how structurally sound these stairs were.  Then Zack destroyed them.  I nearly cried.  I wanted to show James my stairs when he came home from work.  Just a little glimpse of what it might feel like to be a 2 year old....
