Two years is quickly approaching...it barely seems possible. And, so far, no terrible twos. : ) He still loves cleaning and helping us out. He has become a master mimicker. He almost never has an accident and he has been using the big potty a lot lately. It's hilarious to see him put the little seat on the toilet and try and climb up on it- his legs are so long he has very little trouble getting up there. His words have started getting much more clear lately and he is using so many signs, I can't keep up! We go to ASL class every Tuesday and now instead of playing, he spends much of the time trying to sign what we're signing. He picks it up so fast!

This month, Roman had an unexpected visit with Pa-Pa and they really enjoyed playing cars and swimming. Then his Grandma Cozy came and we had a great time at the beach and at an aquarium. Mom and Dad even got a couple of hours to themselves!

Roman loved the dolphin show so much more than he did at 18 months. When they stopped he started signing, "more, more, more!" I just loved watching him pet the manta-ray and waddle with a penguin (a 28-year-old penguin!) He is just so brave; if he sees anything he thinks is a bug, he runs to get a shoe and than "boom!" he says as he whacks the crap out of it repeatedly. Today he picked up a lizard by its tail, but Gracie had already gotten to it, so it didn't move much.
