Two is full of character!

For a few months, I've been wanting to post some tidbits on what Jameson is like at two.  Trying to get the perfect pic of him these days is near impossible, so here are some random ones from my phone that I've been able to sneak.  This one is from an afternoon that I put him in the car (front passenger seat) while I loaded it up with things from inside the house.  I came back out to load the car and heard music...hmmmm, then saw his head peering out over the wheel.   He had pressed the start engine button (thank God he can't reach the brake pedal!), turned on the radio and started playing with all the buttons and dials as he pretended to drive jamming to the music bobbing his head up and down and everything!  I started laughing hysterically and then almost peed my pants when he got the windshield wipers to move and freaked himself out (literally, he jumped back in the seat!).  (This pic reminds me of the photo I took of him behind the wheel at around 5 months, some things don't change.)
He loves chocolate and "m's".  The combo, however, is difficult for a toddler to manage because (lesson #1) it leads to brain freeze.  He didn't want anymore of his frozen yogurt after biting into a big spoonful of it, leaving a dish of melting yogurt that we could not take home to save for later.  Always remember that a mother should follow her instinct (lesson #2).  Despite him agreeing that I could throw it out, I considered waiting to do so until once we'd left and he couldn't see it anymore, but alas I tossed right then and there.  Oh, BIG mistake!  Toddler meltdown (no pun intended!) in the frozen yogurt shop surrounded by happy people on a gorgeous Friday afternoon.  This triggered Ava to meltdown and neither child was yet in the stroller.  It made for a long walk/ride back to the house!!!
Picnic lunch at the park.  We love doing these, but it was still so early in the season that the grass was loaded with goose poop - yuck!  Jameson's dream came true - a picnic lunch on the basketball court!  I'm honestly confused as to why he has tears in the picture.  Being that he's two, the tears could be from anything anyone reading this blog could dream up - the sky's the limit!

Still such a good eater.  Love our playdates because he gets introduced to so many new things.  Here he's enjoying homemade miso soup with tofu and seaweed!!!!  Impressive.  On a weird note, he doesn't like rice.  I think it's a texture thing.
Goofy boy.  The other day I called Jameson "J-man" - a common nickname that we've used since he was born.  Well, he turned to me and said "I'm not a man."
